An English Premier League footballer in his 30s was questioned by the Metropolitan Police last week in connection with multiple allegations of sexual offences.
According to Sportmail, the footballer is under investigation for the alleged rape of two women and a sexual offence against a third woman.
The footballer was first arrested at an address in West London in July 2022 on suspicion of rape and has continued to play for his club since. He attended a police station last Thursday and was interviewed under caution, according to the British news outlet.
A Met Police spokesperson 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 man was initially arrested after a report of an alleged rape in June 2022. While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape in April and June 2021. No further action is being taken regarding the incident in June 2021 due to relevant legislation not being in effect at the time of the alleged offence.
Police arrested the player again in February 2023 on suspicion of a sexual offence that allegedly took place in West London in February 2022.
