Thespence Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Page 5 of the Sunday Sun. The northern woman claims she was raped 4 (FOUR) times at his London gaff last year. The most sicking thing about this article is the phrase "Ex-Toon Star" Former United star in rape quiz Apr 6 2008 Sunday Sun Former Newcastle United midfielder, Amdy Faye A FORMER Newcastle United footballer has been interviewed by police after a North woman made rape accusations against him, it has been reported. Midfielder Amdy Faye, currently on loan to Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers from Championship side Charlton, strenuously denies the claims. The player, signed for the Toon by Graeme Souness in 2005 for £2m, was spoken to by detectives under caution. A senior police source was quoted as saying: “We are taking these allegations seriously. It’s not an allegation of stranger rape, the woman knew the man concerned. “He has been seen by us but was not arrested. He cooperated fully and denies any wrongdoing.” The allegations have been denounced by Faye’s lawyer as “utterly untrue”. The woman claims Faye raped her on four separate occasions last year at his then-London home, according to the reports in at least two Scottish newspapers. Faye, 31, insists he has had no sexual contact whatsoever with the woman. The woman, who is from the North and is in her 20s, waited nearly a year after the last alleged incident, in February 2007, before contacting police. Married Faye, who was at St James’s Park for just 18 months, has made only three Rangers first-team appearances since moving there on loan last summer. The devout Muslim, who does not drink, “vehemently and categorically denies” the allegations. His lawyer Angus McBride said he denied the allegations and had attended a London police station by appointment on March 19. He was not arrested. Mr McBride said: “These allegations are utterly untrue.” A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “On three or four occasions in February and March last year, a girl told police she was raped. We can confirm that on March 19 a man attended an East London police station by appointment. “He was interviewed under caution. He was not arrested. Inquiries continue.” It’s not the first time Faye, from Senegal, has had dealings with the law. He was arrested at his home in Glasgow in November along with Scots football agent Willie McKay in a football corruption probe. He was later released on bail. Police were investigating allegations dating back to 2003 . . . the year he joined Portsmouth from French side Auxerre. Both he and Mr McKay strongly deny any wrongdoing.

Thespence Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is this even news? Front page of The Sunday Sun!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is this even news? Front page of The Sunday Sun!!!! Er, yep i know that. What i mean was does the story warrant a front page? A squad player from a few years ago and hardly a household name. The Sunday Sun regularly have negative front page headlines about Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Pft, when Matty Pattison was drunk that was front page news as well. He isn't even a "household" name, more of a "squatters" name tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A squad player from a few years ago and hardly a household name. The Sunday Sun regularly have negative front page headlines about Newcastle. It is and it isnt. I hate stories about people being accused of rape because if the accused is never found guilty, the air of it stays around them. Faye found guilty of rape is front page news. Until then, it shouldnt be any where near the newspapers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
