According to the Daily Mail, a prominent top-flight footballer reported to a police station on November 7 for a second interview under caution. Despite the serious nature of the allegations, he has maintained his role at the club since the initial claims surfaced.

The Met Police has confirmed that their officers are actively investigating multiple reports of alleged sexual offenses occurring between 2021 and 2023. A man in his 30s was arrested in July 2022, and it is noteworthy that he has since undergone two additional interviews with the police under caution. The investigation is ongoing, with detectives committed to conducting thorough and detailed inquiries.

“Met officers are investigating following a number of reports of alleged sexual offenses between 2021 and 2023. A man in his 30s was arrested in July 2022. He has since been interviewed by police on two further occasions while under caution. Those who have come forward to police continue to receive support from Met officers.” the spokesperson said.

A Premier League player was first arrested in June 2022 following an allegation of rape. During this time, two additional incidents from April and June 2021 came to light, resulting in a second arrest. While no further action was taken concerning the June 2021 incident, the player was subsequently taken into custody again in February 2023 on suspicion of another sexual offense from February 2022.
