Sports News of Thursday, 12 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comGhanaian footballer Thomas Partey has faced another setback in his efforts to clear his name over rape allegations, as additional charges have reportedly emerged. The fresh charges will be heard at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on March 3, 2026, giving the player a chance to respond to the charges and defend himself before the court will make a determination. The new charges relate to a separate report of “non-recent offences” alleged to have occurred in 2020, with the report lodged in August 2025. This specific report was submitted to the Metropolitan Police in August 2025, at a time when Partey had already been charged with five counts of rape. The hearing on March 3, 2026, will determine whether he continues to enjoy bail or faces a dramatic twist in his footballing career.
