The Metropolitan Police have passed a full file of evidence about a Premier League footballer accused of rape to the Crown Prosecution Service, who will now decide the next steps. The file outlines various allegations, including incidents stretching back to 2021, and the player, who remains unnamed due to legal reasons, continues to deny all allegations while still playing in the Premier League.
The player, who is in his thirties, was arrested in July 2022, and interviewed under caution on multiple occasions, including February 2023 and November 2024. Despite being involved in a serious legal investigation and facing multiple allegations from different women, he has not been charged and maintains his innocence.
The alleged rape occurred in June 2022, but the investigation has revealed a string of allegations dating back at least two years. The Crown Prosecution Service's decision will depend on whether there is sufficient evidence to move forward.
Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations and the police's commitment to supporting victims during the investigation.
