Partey Hires Mendy’s Lawyer in Rape Case Showdown
In the shadow of a career-threatening legal storm, Ghanaian football star Thomas Partey made a bold and calculated move—one that could define his future both on and off the pitch.
Facing five counts of rape charges in the United Kingdom, Partey turned to one of the most formidable names in British criminal law: Jenny Wiltshire.
Wiltshire isn’t just any lawyer. She’s the legal mind who orchestrated the successful defense of former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, whose own rape case ended in acquittal after a grueling trial.
Her reputation for navigating high-profile criminal cases with precision and poise made her the obvious choice for Partey, who needed not just a lawyer, but a legal tactician.
From her early days at the University of Wales to her rise as head of the Serious and General Crime team at Hickman and Rose, Wiltshire has built a career on defending the most complex and controversial cases.
Her courtroom presence is commanding, her arguments razor-sharp, and her understanding of criminal law unmatched.
Partey’s decision to hire Wiltshire signals more than just a defense strategy—it’s a statement. It says he’s prepared to fight, and he’s bringing the best to the battle.
With Wiltshire’s track record, including her leadership roles in the London Criminal Court Solicitors Association and Women in Criminal Law, she brings not only legal expertise but also a deep understanding of the societal and media pressures surrounding such cases.
