Notably, the Crown Prosecution Service CPS announced on February 12, 2026 that the charges were first reported in August 2025 and that the new additional charges were referred to a separate report of non-recent crimes in 2020 and to a new investigation conducted by the Metropolitan Police, Dailymail reports.
The details show that the alleged offences, which the perpetrator previously denied in court, are said to have taken place in 2021 and 2022, when the 32-year-old was a regular at Arsenal.
A CPS spokesperson said: “Mr Partey has already been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in relation to allegations by three women of incidents that took place between 2021 and 2022.”
The conditions of his bail do not prevent him from playing, although he must give police 24 hours’ notice of any international travel and is not allowed to contact complainants.
In addition, Partey now plays for Villarreal in Spain, and in relation to the new charges, Partey will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, March 13, 2026.
