Police swooped in on QPR’s training ground to arrest two players on suspicion of voyeurism on Thursday after an incident at a nightclub in Kingston earlier this month
Two QPR players were arrested by police at the club’s training ground on Thursday on suspicion of voyeurism.
Voyeurism is the act of gaining sexual gratification from observing or recording someone engaged in a private activity without their consent. Officers swooped on QPR’s Hounslow training ground to make the arrests.
According to the Daily Mail, the two players are thought to be part of the club’s academy, with both men in their late teens. The arrests are linked to an incident at a nightclub in Kingston in South London earlier this month.
The two suspects remain in custody while the police continue their investigation. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that the arrests have taken place, with the complainant being supported by specialist officers.
A statement from the force read: “On Thursday, 27 February, police arrested two men in their late teens on suspicion of voyeurism. This follows a report of an incident which took place at a nightclub in Kingston on Wednesday, 5 February.
“Both suspects remain in custody and enquiries are ongoing. The victim continues to be supported by specialist officers.”
QPR meanwhile have confirmed that they are aware of the ‘alleged incident’. They added that the two players arrested are assisting the police with their enquiries.
A club statement read: “Queens Park Rangers Football Club are aware of an alleged incident involving two academy players.
“The individuals are helping police with their enquiries. As this is an ongoing investigation, the club will not be making any further comment at this time.”
The maximum penalty for suspects guilty of voyeurism is two years imprisonment. QPR currently sit 14th in the Championship, seven points adrift of the play-offs and 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
