Ghana international Thomas Partey has denied new rape allegations after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed he has been charged with two additional counts.<\/p>\n

The development was first reported by the Telegraph, with the CPS later announcing that the new charges relate to a separate report of non-recent alleged offences said to have occurred in 2020. <\/p>\n

The CPS indicated that the fresh allegations were first reported in August last year and followed a new investigation by the Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n

Partey has already appeared in court, where he denied raping two women and sexually assaulting a third.<\/p>\n

Those alleged offences are said to have taken place in 2021 and 2022, during his time as a regular for Arsenal in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n

He is due to face trial on those allegations in November.<\/p>\n

In response to the latest charges, Partey\u2019s defence lawyer, Jenny Wiltshire, reiterated his position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThomas Partey continues to deny all charges against him. He has cooperated with the police throughout. Given there are ongoing legal proceedings, there will be no further comment,\u201d <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old was formally charged four days after leaving Arsenal following the expiration of his contract in June.<\/p>\n

Partey currently plays for Spanish side Villarreal. The conditions of his bail do not prevent him from playing professional football; however, he must notify police of any international travel at least 24 hours in advance and is prohibited from contacting the complainants.<\/p>\n

The case remains before the court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
