The feminist group, Object, are pressuring the player's club to suspend him until his innocence is proven. In their statement, via The Telegraph, Object explained:

"Of course the club should suspend him pending investigations and make a public announcement to that effect. Without prejudicing any verdict, we know that such cases are often dropped and the likelihood of a conviction is minute and will not happen for years, if at all."

The player is said to be a 29-year-old male who also plays for his country's national team. However, due to legal reasons, the press cannot publish the name of the player or the club he represents. He was picked up by the police in north London.

Nevertheless, the demand for punitive measures could see the player's identity eventually revealed. While he is yet to stand trial, the accusations leveled against him are very serious and must be treated as such.

The English legal system will now do their best to secure a conviction following their apprehension of the player. However, due to the gravity of the accusations, it is likely that the club in question will eventually take some action against the player.
