Partey, 32, has been charged with five counts of rape and one of sexual assault and faces trial later this year
The former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey has appeared in court charged with six sexual offences.
The 32-year-old was bailed to appear at the Old Bailey for trial later this year over allegations of rape and sexual assault. During Tuesday’s brief hearing at Westminster magistrates court, he stood in the dock dressed all in black with his arms behind his back.
Partey has been charged with five counts of rape against two women and a charge of sexual assault against a third woman. The alleged offences are said to have taken place in 2021 and 2022 when he was an Arsenal player.
The chief magistrate Paul Goldspring granted conditional bail, telling Partey he must not contact any of the three women. Partey was also told he must notify police of any permanent change of address and if he is to stay somewhere other than his home for 14 consecutive days. He was also told to notify police of any international travel ahead of time.
