- Partey pleaded not guilty, confirmed his identity, and was granted bail under conditions including no contact with the complainants and notification of travel changes.
- The trial, set for November 2, 2026 at Southwark Crown Court, will be overseen by a High Court judge and expected to last six to eight weeks.
