A Premier League footballer was reportedly arrested on the training pitch this week, with the star taken in on suspicion of allegedly making a sex tape without consent.
A report detailed the incident where the team-mates of the player in question were left shocked when two uniformed police officers walked onto the pitch to interrupt a session.
The star, who is said to be an international, was taken away at 11am, before being questioned for six hours.
Two phones were also seized by police, with the devices investigated for footage and video recordings.
The report goes onto claim that the footballer’s colleagues initially thought the whole thing was a practical joke.
A source told The Sun: “A lot of stars initially thought it was a prank when two uniformed officers strode on to the pitches during training. Everyone was in disbelief.
“Players were open-mouthed. No one was sure what was going on.”
However, after being questioned for six hours, the star was released with no further action taken.
He subsequently returned to training on Thursday and could feature in his side’s FA Cup third round fixture this weekend.
The Sun report went onto detail how police intervened after the footballer was accused by a woman of allegedly secretly filming their sexual encounter despite her asking him not to.
She told police she had either refused to record a sex tape, or take part in a threesome.
The woman was also reportedly told to leave the footballer’s house moments after their encounter had finished, with the individual allegedly telling friends that ‘she felt violated and humiliated’.
A police spokesperson 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.’
The club in question refused to comment when contacted.
