⚖️ Thomas Partey pleads not guilty, trial date set | OneFootball

Thomas Partey, currently a footballer for Villarreal, has pleaded not guilty to five charges of rape and one charge of sexual assault against three women brought against him by British justice.

The player maintained his innocence today in front of the Southwark court and also learned the date of the trial, which will take place in the same place on November 2, 2026.

What's next for Partey?

British justice has not banned the player from practicing his profession, but due to the conditions of his probation, he must inform the police of any international travel 24 hours in advance. He is also prohibited from contacting the complainants, either directly or indirectly.

Partey was charged with the aforementioned charges last July, as the final part of an investigation that began in February 2022.

The accusations against the Ghanaian international are related to the complaints of three different women between 2021 and 2022, when Partey was playing for Arsenal.

Partey has signed a contract with Villarreal for one season with an option for another and last night he played with his team in the inaugural match of his club in the current edition of the Champions League against Tottenham.

The Ghanaian international was booed by the Tottenham Stadium crowd when he entered the field of play, as a substitute, in the 78th minute.
