Former Arsenal Star Vows to Clear His Name Amid Serious Sexual Assault Allegations
Thomas Partey’s legal team has broken their silence after the ex-Arsenal midfielder was formally charged with multiple sexual offenses dating back to his early years at the Premier League club.
The 32-year-old Ghana international faces five counts of rape and one sexual assault charge relating to three separate women between 2021-2022, according to Metropolitan Police documents. In a strongly-worded statement, defense lawyer Jenny Wiltshire insisted her client maintains his innocence and has fully cooperated with authorities throughout the three-year investigation.
Key Developments:
- Partey charged with offenses against three women during his Arsenal tenure
- Legal team claims player “welcomes opportunity to clear his name”
- Court date set for August 5 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court
- Police continue appealing for witnesses to come forward
“Thomas Partey denies all the charges against him,” Wiltshire stated. “After three years of cooperation, he now looks forward to presenting his case in court. Given the ongoing proceedings, he cannot comment further at this time.”
The serious allegations cast a shadow over Partey’s recent departure from Arsenal, where he made 167 appearances after his £45 million move from Atlético Madrid in 2020. His contract expired June 30 without renewal.
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy emphasized the investigation’s priority remains supporting the accusers: “We encourage anyone affected by this case to reach out to our specialized team.”
As the football world processes these developments, all eyes turn to August’s court hearing – where Partey will have his first chance to formally respond to charges that could carry severe consequences for the midfielder’s career and reputation.
The case continues to develop, with authorities reminding the public that criminal proceedings are now active and cautioning against speculation that could prejudice a fair trial.
