I don't know if PL teams have that NFL "conduct detrimental to the team/league" lever to use where we see guys get suspended without any actual charge (like what just happened with Justin Tucker). But he was actually arrested, so you would think (hope?) Arsenal did an internal investigation to understand the validity of the possible charges. So in that case placing him on paid leave until that is finished would probably be valid. But who knows if they did do an internal investigation or just left it all to the police.

I don’t know about the actual allegations or investigations, but there’s was a girl who posted everything online. I think it was her (there are three victims here), who went to the club and she posted that they basically brushed her off. I didn’t read all of that though, so I don’t actually know any specifics.
And yes, innocent until proven guilty, of course. But he was bailed out 7 times. At some point you’d think the club would be like “this is a bad look, and we do have the women’s team that we’re trying to support, so maybe we should do the right thing”.
