Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with two new counts of rape.
The 32-year-old is facing trial in November after denying raping two women and sexually assaulting a third.
And the CPS has now authorised two additional counts of rape against him.
“These new charges relate to a separate report of non-recent offences in 2020 involving one additional woman and follow a new investigation by the Metropolitan Police. These allegations were first reported in August 2025.”
In relation to the new allegations, Partey will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on March 13th.
He previously pled not guilty to five counts of rape and one charge of sexual assault having appeared at Southwark Crown Court in September last year.
