A Premier League footballer has reportedly been arrested in north London on suspicion of rape. The man, who is 29 but cannot be identified for legal reasons, was being questioned by police about an alleged attack said to have taken place in June, according to the Telegraph.
The 29-year-old player, and of "international renown", is being questioned about an alleged rape that would have taken place last month. "Investigations into the circumstances are ongoing," the authorities explained.
The London Metropolitan Police has issued a statement explaining that “on the Fourth of July an allegation of rape of a woman in her twenties was reported to the authorities”. "The alleged rape was reported to have occurred in June 2022. The defendant was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and detained," the officers added.
The events of which this Premier League star is accused took place this same month of June. The young woman who accuses the soccer player of rape returned to the United Kingdom after the alleged attack - which occurred during her vacation in the Mediterranean -and on Sunday night she went to the police station to file the complaint. She made a full statement and presented photographic evidence that led to the player's almost immediate arrest.
Fans are speculating the name, However, his name cannot be revealed due to legal reasons.
"On July 4, an allegation of rape of a woman in her twenties was reported to the police," read an official Metropolitan Police statement given to BBC Sport. "The alleged rape was reported to have occurred in June 2022." "On July 4, a 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody where he remains. Investigations into the circumstances are ongoing," the note read.
The Sun also compiled statements from the club to which the footballer belongs, whose identity remains undisclosed for legal reasons: "The accusations are of the utmost seriousness. The club bosses are stunned by this. The player was supposed to be on a pre-season tour. Now he won't travel. The player's teammates are absolutely stunned. It's a hammer blow for the club, but the police must do their job."
Another case of alleged rape casts a shadow over the Premier League. It must be remembered that in recent times several footballers in the English championship were arrested for the same reason or for sexual assault. They were Benjamin Mendy and Mason Greenwood, from Manchester City and United, respectively.
Mendy entered preventive detention almost a year ago on August 27, 2021, in a prison north of Liverpool, while Manchester City continues to keep him suspended from employment and salary. He is accused of up to eight crimes against five different women, of which seven are rape charges related to four women.
Greenwood, for his part, was arrested on suspicion of allegedly raping and assaulting her partner Harriet Robson after she uploaded several photos of injuries allegedly caused by the striker. Since then he has not set foot on a pitch again, away from the discipline of Manchester United.
