Thomas Party denies rape accusations after the return to London in the Champions League

Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Party denied allegations of rape two women and sexually assaulting to a third party.

The 32 -year -old footballer appeared at Southwark Crown runs this week, where he pleaded not guilty to five rape leaders and a chief of sexual assault.

The accusations concern the incidents which would have taken place between 2021 and 2022, during the period when Party was a regular at the Premier League team of Arsenal.

Accommodation was officially brought against him only after his departure from the club, following the conclusion of his contract at the end of June.

Party was released on bail while waiting for the trial, which should start next year next year in the same court.

During the hearing, he confirmed his identity before denying each accusation.

Now playing for Villarreal in Spain, Party was already in London this week while his new team would face Tottenham in the Champions League.

He left the bench in a match that ended with a 1-0 defeat for the Spanish club.

Although his deposit conditions allow him to continue his football career, he is required to inform the police of any international trip at least 24 hours in advance and it is prohibited to contact the alleged victims.
