The Crown Prosecution Service is reviewing the evidence file relating to the Premier League footballer who was arrested on suspicion of rape.
The man, in his 30s, is accused of sexual offenses between 2021 and 2023. The Metropolitan Police have now sent their file to the CPS and the player remains under investigation as the investigation continues.
The footballer denies the accusations.
A police spokesman said: “Met officers are investigating a number of reports of alleged sexual offenses between 2021 and 2023.
“The entire file has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and detectives are continuing to work with prosecutors.
“Those who have come forward to the police continue to be supported by Met officers.”
The player, who has not been named, was first arrested in July 2022 over rape allegations made by a woman in her 20s.
While in custody, he was additionally arrested in connection with the alleged rape of another woman in April 2021 and June of that year.
The Metropolitan Police said it would take no further action in relation to the alleged incident in June 2021 as the relevant laws had not come into force at that time.
In February 2023, police questioned a man under caution for an alleged sexual offense allegedly committed in Barnet, north London, in February 2022.
This relates to the third complainant and was reported in July 2022, police said.
The police officers spoke with the first league football player again, under caution, in November 2024.
The CPS will now decide how to proceed, based on a file of evidence provided by the city’s police. It is not known when the decision will be made.
