QPR striker Loic Remy arrested on suspicion of rape

Queens Park Rangers striker Loic Remy has been arrested, along with his cousin and a friend, on suspicion of rape.

ITV News understands that a woman in her 30s visited Remy, 26, at his flat last week believing him to be alone. When she arrived his cousin and friend were also apparently present.

The woman was offered a drink and allegedly lost consciousness afterwards.

When she recovered consciousness some hours later, it is claimed she was naked and the three men were still present. The woman made a complaint to police and the men were arrested this morning.

The 26-year-old started his career at Lyon in 2006 before moving to Nice in 2008 and then Marseille in 2010. He joined the west London club this January for a reported fee of £8 million - a club record at the time.

The former Lyon striker has won 18 caps for France, scoring four goals and since joining QPR has scored six goals in 13 games but could not prevent the club from being relegated.
