Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is no longer a suspect in a Rotterdam rape case.
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is no longer a suspect in a Rotterdam rape case.The gifted Dutch forward was arrested on June 14 after allegations of sexual assault in his homeland, but the case has now been dismissed due to a lack of evidence.
Van Persie was released after being held for a fortnight before the season began, although the investigation was continuing until Tuesday's announcement.
A statement from Rotterdam's public prosecutor stated that sexual contact had taken place although no force was involved.
The decision allows the former Feyenoord star to concentrate on battling back to full fitness with The Gunners as he looks to secure a place in Marco van Basten's World Cup squad.
The woman who made the complaint can still appeal against the decision however.
