It all started in October 2021, when Thomas Partey was accused of rape by a woman in Ghana.
Partey has refuted the allegations, and his representatives issued a statement asserting that he “vehemently denies any wrongdoing and will vigorously defend himself against these allegations.”
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed their investigation into the claims, and the Ghanaian footballer, born and raised, is said to have cooperated with their inquiries.
Crucially, it should be noted that as of now, no charges have been brought against Partey, and the investigation remains ongoing.
It is imperative to uphold the principle of innocence until proven guilty, refraining from making assumptions or passing judgment on either the accuser or the accused until all the facts have been thoroughly scrutinized and assessed by the relevant authorities.
The weight of these accusations could undoubtedly have a detrimental impact on Partey’s mental well-being and potentially strain his relationship with his wife, Gifty Boakye.
Thomas Partey Rape Allegations & The Lady Involved
Partey’s ex-girlfriend took to Twitter to accuse him of raping her on their trip to an island in Ibiza, Spain. She wrote:
“Thomas Partey is an ADMITTED rapist. No woman can accuse you of raping her and your response is this???? He raped me, left me in bed unconscious then went out to party in Ibiza, came back, laughed in my face and told me I don’t get to say no to him. Not once said I was lying.”
In her account, she explicitly stated that she and Partey were in a relationship before the incident occurred. She was on the brink of ending the relationship when you convinced her to go on holiday with him.
“We were dating, he asked me to travel with him for his birthday after I tried to end things with him a few weeks prior. He convinced me that he had booked the trip for us and that he was going to change. I fell for it.” she added.
Additionally, she mentioned that she had to relocate from her parent’s residence as they are ardent supporters of Arsenal football club. It became challenging for her to endure her stepfather watching Arsenal’s games and cheering for Partey.
“My family are Arsenal supporters, I had to move out of the home I lived in my entire life because I couldn’t bear to hear my stepdad cheering for him in matches… or being afraid to leave my room incase I hear his name mentioned on a podcast.”
“I have nothing to love for now, nothing to fight for. The entire time I was being “brave” was for absolutely fucking nothing…
“I suffer from severe PTSD and have been on sedatives for the last year to deal with the night terrors, panic attacks and flashbacks I face daily,” she wrote.
