Two men have appeared in court today (Saturday 28 December) charged with the rape of a man in Brighton.
Sussex Police said: “It follows a report by a 19-year-old man being approached by two unknown men near Harry Ramsden’s in the city centre, before being raped in Steine Lane near by.
“He is receiving support from specially trained officers as the investigation continues.
“We can confirm that George Elliott, 40, and Mark Lett, 42, were charged with raping a man and with committing an offence with the intention of committing a relevant sexual offence.
“They appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court today and will next appear before the same court on Monday 30 December.”
Elliott and Lett, of Redstone Road, Redhill, Surrey, are alleged to attacked the teenager at about 3.30am on Saturday 21 December.
The victim managed to seek help from a passerby who called the police.
Detective Inspector Sean Booth said: “We are still urging anyone with information about this incident to contact Sussex Police online or by calling 101, quoting Operation Attach.”
Absolute bastards. I hope they get sent to prison for a long time.
