While the charges against Thomas Partey have ignited global debate, what remains tightly controlled are the actual details of the evidence that brought him to court.
The Crown Prosecution Service authorized charges on July 4, 2025, after what it described as a “comprehensive” review of materials provided by the Metropolitan Police.
These materials are the product of a three-year investigation—one that reportedly includes witness accounts, electronic communications, and forensic data.
But in keeping with UK law and in the interest of a fair trial, the CPS has not made this evidence public.
One woman, believed to be Moroccan model Sara Bella, previously made social media posts alleging Partey raped her during a vacation.
Her claims included screenshots of messages and references to controlling behavior.
However, those allegations were initially dismissed and are only now part of a broader criminal case.
Whether those screenshots or similar digital evidence influenced the CPS’s recent decision is still speculative.
What is certain is that Partey’s defense team has already provided materials to the police, including DNA and phone records, in an effort to clear his name.
Whether this evidence exonerates him or not will only be decided in court, beginning with the August hearing.
For now, the strength of the case is a matter of interpretation—and closely guarded legal files.
