Police drop investigation into Hudson-Odoi’s rape allegation
Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi says police have confirmed he is facing no further action over an accusation of rape.
Police conducted an investigation after the allegation was made against England international Hudson-Odoi in May.
The 19-year-old issued a statement on Instagram to thank those who stood by him and said he plans “to be the best role model that I can be” from now on.
“At a time where there are bigger things happening in the world right now, you may also be aware of serious allegations that were made against me,” Hudson-Odoi said.
“I have stayed silent and assisted the police fully throughout their inquiries, as I knew the day would soon come when my name would be cleared.
“Following a full and thorough investigation, the police have confirmed they will take no further action.
“I have learned that being a footballer and playing for one of the best clubs in the world comes with great responsibility, and going forward I will try to use my platform as a Chelsea player to be the best role model that I can be.”
