The police arrested two soccer players, who play in the English league, after a complaint of rape.
Specifically, as “The Sun” newspaper reveals without mentioning their names, the two footballers belong to the same club and were arrested over the weekend.
The two footballers were released on bail pending further investigations. One, 19, reportedly spoke to police on suspicion of assault and accessory to rape before being formally arrested, while his teammate, also 19, was arrested the next day and questioned on suspicion of rape.
According to the British newspaper, the alleged rape is said to have taken place last Friday night. Their alleged victim contacted the police hours later and filed a formal complaint.
“The police arrested two men following a complaint of rape. A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and complicity in rape. A second 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape. Both men have been released on police bail,” a police spokesman told the British media outlet.
A source told the Sun that police arrived at the stadium and spoke to one of the players in “a room inside the stadium”. The player left with “another person” and was formally arrested later that evening.
A club spokesman told the newspaper: “As the matter is now in the hands of the police, the football club will not be making any further comment at this stage.”
