"Essex Police began an investigation after his ex made a complaint several weeks ago that he allegedly attempted to rape her during their relationship. Officers were alerted to the footballer's location and travelled to Stansted to arrest him. The household name, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was taken to a local police station where his fingerprints, DNA sample and mugshot were taken."
"He was walking through passport control when he was discreetly pulled aside by Border Force. There was clearly an issue and he was led away. There was reportedly confusion over the suspect's arrest as he was said to have attended recent public events. A source told The Sun: It's bizarre. The complainant has also been interviewed by specialist sex crimes officers and has been offered counselling and support."
