[wils]

This is all to frequent now. 

A prominent former Premier League footballer has been arrested on suspicion of attempted rape.

Essex Police are investigating claims the player, who also featured for England in the 2010s, attacked an ex-partner.

He was held at Stansted Airport on Sunday by Border Force officers before being taken in for questioning by detectives on the case.

A statement from Essex Police said the suspect, whose name cannot be reported for legal reasons, has been bailed until “late February 2026” pending further inquiries.

Telegraph Sport has confirmed the identity of the player in question.He was stopped at a passport control point as his details showed he was wanted by police, according to The Sun, which broke the news of his arrest.

A complaint was believed to have been made by the footballer’s former partner several weeks ago.

The suspect was held for several hours at a local police station where his fingerprints and DNA sample will have been taken.

Passenger manifests are not top secret "Eyes only" documents. Even someone with a police certificate that gives them access to children and the vulnerable can read them.

The media will already know who this is. If it leaks outside the UK, then we'll soon all know.

fraser getting defensive having exposed himself.

Feel for his missus. God knows what he puts her through when he comes home, all up to the eyeballs on drugs.

You know exactly what I meant as I understand what constitutes rape in a relationship... But not attempted... Yes loads of experience the Mrs, is always putting it on me, do you think I should report it as attempted rape? 

Did your missus press charges then?

The only cruelty I've caused her is turning her into a season ticket holder.. 

You sick bastard!

Was the attempted rape victim female?

For putting it on me... Wtf is your problem.. Been married 25 years... The only cruelty I've caused her is turning her into a season ticket holder.. Not sure why you're accusing me of being a rapist because I asked what is classed as attempting rape with a partner.. You're a lowlife cowardly cսnt accusing someone of that you don't know fuck all about and haven't met... A bit sad really seeing as others accuse you of it and I never have. 

25 years thats a long sentence more like murder than rape...you on parole now?

It's definitely not Ashley, Cole, John Terry. Johnson  or Fat Frank. 

[Come On You Irons]

let's just blame the ex-partner and justify footballers actions... he's innocent, job done.

I didn't say that did I. I said these things are subjective. I cast no "blame" on anyone.

It's all very subjective.

The geezer has now been nicked, had his fingerprints and DNA taken and is being investigated for what could all just be a spurious and malicious allegation from said footballer's ex.
