A woman who accused a Premier League footballer of making a secret sex tape says she was ‘treated like dirt’.
A top-flight player in his 20s was reportedly arrested on suspicion of voyeurism in front of his shocked team-mates at the club’s training ground last week.
Police questioned the individual for several hours and seized two of his mobile phones for evidence.
The player was accused of secretly filming a sexual encounter but, after lengthy questioning, was released without further action.
The young woman, speaking to The Sun, has opened up about the night in question, saying she was invited to his mansion after they met on social media.
The player paid for an Uber to pick her up before the pair had consensual sex, though she felt ‘humiliated’ by his actions.
The woman, who asked not to be named, said: ‘He didn’t drink himself, but kept pouring me large glasses of vodka and lemonade.
‘And after a while he said, “Let me give you a tour of my house”. When we got to his bedroom, he just stripped off.
‘We had sex together but he was texting on his phone and then he started speaking to someone on it.
‘I was upset and angry at his disrespect and rudeness. I felt he treated me like dirt. I felt violated and humiliated by his actions.
‘He needs to have respect for women. No one should treat women like that.’
She says the player unfollowed her on social media after their encounter.
The footballer is believed to have returned to training on Thursday and was in contention to play in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend.
A source told The Sun that his team-mates were stunned by the arrest and thought it was a prank.
‘A lot of stars initially thought it was a prank when two uniformed officers strode on to the pitches during training,’ said the source.
‘Everyone was in disbelief. Players were open-mouthed. No one was sure what was going on.’
A police spokesman, meanwhile, said: ‘A man in his 20s was arrested at an address on suspicion of voyeurism.
‘It was determined no further action would be taken due to insufficient evidence.’
