He initially faced charges involving four women, including counts of rape, indecent assault, and sexual assault. He has now been charged with two further sexual offences, including another count of rape, related to alleged incidents in 2009. These new charges were brought by British authorities and announced by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

His legal situation is significant due to the serious nature of the charges and the public attention surrounding the case.
