Former Arsenal player Thomas Partey granted conditional bail
The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022, when he was an Arsenal player.
Partey stood with his arms behind his back in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, wearing a black zip-neck jumper.
The footballer, who gave his address as Potters Bar, showed no reaction as the charges were read out and was not asked to enter any pleas.

The alleged offences include incidents of anal rape, the court heard.
His bail conditions include that he cannot contact any of the three women and must notify police of any permanent changes of address or international travel.
It comes amid reports that Partey is set to join Spanish club Villarreal.
As bail conditions were discussed in court, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring said: 'I understand he's no longer employed in this country and playing in Spain now.'
Partey left Arsenal when his contract expired at the end of June (PA)
Partey is due to appear at the Old Bailey on September 2.
He was charged four days after leaving Arsenal when his contract expired at the end of June.
A spokeswoman for Arsenal Supporters Against Sexual Violence said they were 'profoundly disappointed' in the north London club for their handling of the matter.
Speaking outside court, Honor Barber told the PA news agency: 'We never wanted to be in a situation where the club that we love and the club that has values that we believe in was playing, week-in week-out, a player who is now facing court appearances on six counts of sexual violence.
'We protested outside almost every home game last season because we wanted to disrupt the wall of silence that the club has put up around this issue, and we did that because we want to support our club and feel happy and comfortable supporting our club.'
Members of the group held a banner which read 'Arsenal said: 'We do the right thing' then did nothing'.

Ms Barber said the group wanted Arsenal to publish their sexual violence policies, 'suspend anyone under investigation for sexual offences' and 'properly support the survivors'.
The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022.
Partey's lawyer Jenny Wiltshire previously said he 'denies all the charges against him', adding he welcomed 'the opportunity to finally clear his name'.
He joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 in a transfer worth around £45 million.
The defensive midfielder signed for the Spanish club in 2012 and made 188 appearances, as well as going out on loan to Mallorca and Leganes.
He played 35 games for the north London club in the Premier League last season, scoring four goals.
Partey has also made more than 50 appearances for Ghana including at the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.
An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: 'The player's contract ended on June 30. Due to ongoing legal proceedings the club is unable to comment on the case.'

Artificial intelligence rollout for police forces to investigate grooming gangs
Officers across all 43 forces in England and Wales will gain access to the investigative technology as part of a £426,000 funding boost for the Tackling Organised Exploitation (TOEX) programme. The intelligence and technical experts support forces investigating complex cases such as organised exploitation of modern slavery, county lines and child sex abuse. Some 13 forces currently have access to their apps, which are said to have been used 12,500 times – saving more than £20 million and 16,000 hours for investigators. Baroness Casey (James Manning/PA) The expansion, announced by the Home Office, comes after Baroness Casey recommended a national police operation to review cold cases, in her rapid audit on grooming gangs published in June. Operation Beaconport has since been established, led by the National Crime Agency, and will be reviewing more than 1,200 closed cases of child sexual exploitation. Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips said: 'The sexual exploitation of children by grooming gangs is one of the most horrific crimes and we must punish perpetrators, provide justice for victims and survivors, and protect today's children from harm. 'Baroness Casey flagged the need to upgrade police information systems to improve investigations and safeguard children at risk. Today we are investing in these critical tools.' The technology being rolled out can translate large amounts of text in foreign languages from mobile phones seized by police, and analyse a mass of digital data to find patterns and relationships between suspects. NCA director general Graeme Biggar said providing reassurance to victims and their families has been a main focus of the national policing operation since June. He added: 'We must and will ensure their voices are heard and collectively, we will restore confidence that the law enforcement response to child sexual exploitation is without fear or favour, is evidence based and not undermined by fears of inflaming community tensions.' The Home Secretary has also written to police forces to make sure they are collecting ethnicity data as recommended by Baroness Casey. The crossbench peer's report found the lack of data showing the ethnicity and nationality of sex offenders in grooming gangs is 'a major failing over the last decade or more'. The audit found that officials had dodged the issue of ethnicity among the groups of sex offenders for fear of being called racist, but there were enough convictions of Asian men 'to have warranted closer examination'. The Government has launched a national inquiry into the abuse and further details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Estevao Willian explains why he picked Chelsea over Arsenal, Real Madrid & Barca
Estevao Willian has explained why he joined Chelsea and snubbed transfer moves to the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Blues announced in June 2024 that they'd signed the Brazil international teenager, who officially arrived at Chelsea this summer from Palmeiras. Estevao, who cost €34m (£29.2m) plus €23m (£19.8m) in add-ons, is considered to be one of the best young footballers in the world. The 18-year-old could've joined pretty much any club he wanted with Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona all registering an interest. In a new interview on the Chelsea website, the winger has now lifted the lid on why he picked Stamford Bridge instead of the Emirates or Spain. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. 'Their plans, the structure and the club – everything,' Estevao said. 'But mainly the plans and the project the club has is what interested me and my family, and I think it was the best decision we could have made.' Estevao has also expressed his admiration for Chelsea legend Eden Hazard and hopes to follow in the footsteps of a number of Brazilian players who've featured for the Blues over the years – including Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Ramires, Oscar and Willian. 'Eden Hazard is the one that I watched the most at Chelsea,' Estevao added. 'He's ace. '[And] it's a pleasure to be here where so many Brazilians made history. 'I hope to follow those who wrote a beautiful story here at Chelsea just like they did. 'After I had signed for Chelsea and in the final game of 2024, I played against Thiago Silva. He came and talked to me. 'He said I was going to love the club, which has an incredible structure and is an incredible club. And now [I am here], I can see how amazing this club is. '[My long-term goals at Chelsea are] I want to win all the titles possible: the Premier League and the Champions League as well. More Trending 'And personally, to be the best in the world and keep working hard so that these dreams come true.' Chelsea's new signing Estevao has been labelled the best Brazilian-born player since Neymar by Brazil's World Cup winner Branco. Neymar himself has waxed lyrical about Estevao, predicting the teen – already capped five times by Brazil – will prove himself as a 'genius'. Brazil legend Ronaldo, meanwhile, believes that Estevao is 'kind of like' Barcelona and Spain star Lamine Yamal.
