FORMER Arsenal star Thomas Partey raped women at his £6million mansion and at a five-star hotel in Spain, a court heard.
The Ghanaian international, 32, is also accused of sexually assaulting a third woman by lying on top of her and trying to kiss her.
Partey appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for a brief hearing today.
He is accused of three counts of rape against one of the alleged victims and two against a second.
Partey is also charged with one count of sexual assault against the third complainant.
The star allegedly carried out the offences between 2021 and 2022.
JPs heard Partey allegedly raped one of the women three times at his home in Hertfordshire.
He is also accused of attacking one of these woman at a resort in Spain.
The court heard Partey sexually assaulted a third woman by lying on top of her, trying to kiss her and groping her without consent.
He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the brief hearing.
Partey was granted conditional bail to next appear at the Old Bailey on September 2.
His bail conditions include not contacting any of the three complainants and must notify police of any change of address three days in advance.
Partey must also notify officers about any address where he will be staying for more than 14 days and notify them of any international travel.
The court was told the prosecution believed the bail conditions were workable even though Partey is no longer employed in the UK and will likely be living in Spain.
The footballer's contract with Arsenal ended on June 30 and was not renewed - making him a free agent.
He has since been linked to Villarreal and is understood to have undergone a medical at the La Liga side.
Partey, who has also had offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, is expected to sign a two-year deal.
His defence Lawyer Jenny Wiltshire said previously: “Thomas Partey denies all the charges against him.
"He has fully cooperated with the police and CPS throughout their three-year investigation. He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name.
"Given that there are now ongoing legal proceedings, my client is unable to comment further”
A probe into the defensive midfielder was launched in February 2022 after officers first received a report of rape.
The Crown Prosecution Service said the charge came after it "carefully reviewed a comprehensive file of evidence".
Partey was at the Emirates for five years after signing in 2020 from Atletico Madrid, where he won the Europa League.
He has represented his country at three Africa Cup of Nations and the 2022 World Cup.
