At 3 a.m., an EPL player was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman on vacation in Med
In a dramatic 3 a.m. raid, cops arrested an EPL star on suspicion of rape.
Six police cars arrived at the ace's mansion while he was sleeping.
A woman in her twenties also reported the alleged assault and showed police photos of "bruising."
Police swooped in to arrest a top footballer after a woman accused him of raping her while on vacation in the Mediterranean.
The international star, who is one of the best players on his Premier League team, was handcuffed and arrested yesterday.
Six police cars arrived at his multi-million pound gated mansion at 3 a.m., while he was sleeping, and arrested him on suspicion of rape after six police cars arrived at his multi-million-pound gated mansion at 3am, while he was asleep.
The well-known player, who is in his late twenties, was questioned by detectives for at least 15 hours.
The star, who was still detained last night, had already begun training and was scheduled to fly out on a pre-season tour with his club.
A woman in her twenties claims she was raped while on vacation last month.
The alleged victim had fled the five-star resort and returned to her friends and family back home.
She spoke to police upon her return to the UK, and on Sunday evening she appeared at a police station and provided a detailed statement in support of her claims.
She showed detectives photos she claimed showed bruising on her body following the alleged attack. Only a few hours after she finished her statement, a huge police presence was seen at the star's home.
The player was set to appear at the World Cup in Qatar later this year. Stunned footballers were last night sharing news as word of the rape claim swept Premier League stars' WhatsApp groups.
“A man was arrested at an address in London on suspicion of rape and taken into custody where he remains. Inquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.”
Last night the arrested star's club was approached for comment.
