Two Premier League players have been arrested on suspicion of rape. Police swooped in at a Premier League stadium over the weekend, where they spoke to one of the players. The report adds the player was then allowed to leave the stadium after a brief interview before he was formally arrested. He then spent the night in a police cell, where he was questioned about the charges.
The alleged incident is said to have occurred on Friday evening. The alleged victim contacted the authorities a few hours after the incident, where they filed a formal complaint. Both of the players have since been released on bail pending further enquiries, police have confirmed. A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and aiding and abetting a rape.
A second 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape. Both men have since been released on police bail. A source also told The Sun: “One of the players was at the club’s stadium. The police arrived wanting to speak to him.
He was taken to a private room within the ground and was spoken to by police. The player left the club with another individual and was formally arrested by police later that night.” A spokesman from the relevant Premier League club told The Sun: “As the matter is now in the hands of the police, the Football Club will not be making further comment at this stage.”
