Captain of Black Stars of Ghana, Asamoah Gyan, has opened up on what transpired between him and a lady, Sarah Kwablah who accused him of rape.

Gyan admitted cheating on his wife, Gifty with the lady but maintained that they both enjoyed the sex.

Sarah had accused him of raping her in 2015.

The Ghana captain said he met the woman on social media after she sent him a message, and had sex in her apartment later on when he visited Ghana for the 2015 AFCON preparation.

The lady reportedly had a camera hidden in her room and recorded the sexual encounter which she later used in threatening the striker in order to extort money from him.

She accused Asamoah Gyan of forcefully sleeping with her when he had not proposed love to her.

Police in Ghana later arrested Sarah, and Osafo Anthony, a journalist and Chris Handler who is a blogger, and charged them with conspiring to extort money from Samuel Anim Addo, the manager of Asamoah Gyan.

They were tried for allegedly extorting GH¢25,000 from Addo by means of a threat to release the sex video.

However, in an interview with Delay on ‘Delay Show’, the Shanghai SIPG striker explained, “She sent me a message on social media and we became friends.

“So after 2015 AFCON tournament, I came to Ghana and we met at STC where I train and because I’m married, I introduced her as friend to my colleagues and after the training, we drove in my dirty training kits to her house and we had sex.”

Although the captain confessed to having had sex with Sarah, he denied raping her.

“I will not deny sleeping with Sarah Kwablah, we both enjoyed the love making but she twisted the story and accused me of raping her, we had a good time.

“I told her [my wife] the whole truth about the whole incident.

“She understood me because she knows I will not lie and forgave me.

“I would not have held a grudge against her if she decided to file for divorce over the incident.”
