Thomas Partey Charged With Two New Counts of Rape by Crown Prosecution Service

Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey has been charged with two new counts of rape following his appearance before the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on February 12, 2026.

According to reports by the Daily Mail, the additional charges relate to a separate report of alleged non-recent offences said to have occurred in 2020. The matter is being handled by the Metropolitan Police, with the allegations first reported in August 2025.

A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service clarified that the new charges are distinct from the five existing counts of rape and one count of sexual assault already brought against the midfielder.

“Partey is already charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault in connection with allegations by three women of incidents which took place between 2021 and 2022,” the spokesperson stated.

“These new charges relate to a separate report of non-recent offences in 2020 involving one additional woman and follow a new investigation by the Metropolitan Police. These allegations were first reported in August 2025. He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 13 March, for a first hearing.”

Court Appearance Scheduled

Partey, who previously denied the earlier allegations in court, is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on March 13, 2026, where he will respond to the new charges.

The case continues to draw significant public attention as legal proceedings move forward.
