A PREMIER League star was arrested on suspicion of rape in a dramatic 3am swoop by cops.
The ace, in his 20s, was asleep when six
police cars arrived at his mansion.
A woman, also in her 20s, reported the alleged attack and showed police photos of “bruising”.
Police swooped to arrest a top footballer after a woman accused him of
raping her during a holiday in the Med.
The international star — one of the best players at his
Premier League side — was handcuffed and taken into custody yesterday.
He was held 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 — in his late 20s — spent at least 15 hours being quizzed by detectives.
The ace — still in custody last night — had already begun training and was due to fly out on a pre-season tour with his club.
A woman in her 20s has claimed that she was raped during a sunshine break last month.
The alleged victim had fled the five-star resort and flown home to her friends and family.
She spoke to police on her return to the
UK — and on Sunday evening she attended a police station and made a full statement in support of her claims.
She showed detectives photos that she claimed highlighted bruising on her body after the alleged attack. Just hours after she finished her statement, a huge police presence was seen at the star’s home.
