Two Premier League footballers were arrested following a reported rape case, according to Mail Online. The two unnamed players, both aged 19 and from the same club, were arrested at the weekend. One player was suspected of assault and aiding and abetting a rape at the club stadium before being formally arrested upon leaving. He was questioned under caution after an overnight detention.
The other player, also 19, was arrested the following day on suspicion of rape. Both have been released on bail pending further inquiries. The alleged incident occurred on Friday night, with the victim contacting police hours later. A police spokesperson confirmed the arrests, with one player being questioned at the stadium before formal arrest.
The club has refrained from commenting further as the matter is under police investigation. This isn’t the first time the Premier League has faced such allegations; previously, Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood faced charges in 2022, which were later dropped.
