A Premier League footballer has been questioned by police over multiple allegations of sex offences. The player, who is in his 30s, was first arrested in the summer of 2022 at an address in west London on suspicion of rape. He continued playing for his club during the period.
He attended a police station on Thursday November 7 and was interviewed under caution over the alleged rapes of two women and alleged sexual offences relating to a third woman. A Met Police spokesperson has said: “Met officers are investigating following a number of reports of alleged sexual offences between 2021 and 2023. A man in his 30s was arrested in July 2022.
He has since been interviewed by police on two further occasions while under caution. “The investigation remains ongoing and detectives are continuing with in-depth and detailed enquiries. Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers.
” The player in question was first arrested in July 2022 after reports of a rape which allegedly took place in June of that year. While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape that were alleged to have taken place in April and June 2021. No further action has been taken over the alleged earlier offences because relevant legislation had not yet come into effect.
However, he was arrested again in February 2023 on suspicion of a sexual offence which is alleged to have taken place in west London in February 2022. The Met Police are continuing their investigation after calling the player into the station for a third time last week.
