Two Premier League footballers have been arrested on suspicion of rape and have been suspended by their club. One of the players, a 19-year-old, was initially spoken to on suspicion of assault and aiding and abetting a rape before being allowed to leave the stadium after a brief interview. However, he was then formally arrested and spent the night in a police cell, being further questioned about the allegations. The alleged incident occurred on a Friday night, with the victim contacting the authorities a few hours after and filing a formal complaint.
Both players have been released on bail pending further enquiries. The Sun reported on the incident at the stadium, with a source stating that the player was taken to a private room within the ground and spoken to by the police. He then left the club with another individual and was arrested by the police later that night.
