Two teenagers were arrested following an allegation of rape in a Ramsgate park on Saturday.

An 18-year-old woman walked into the town police station and told officers she had been sexually assaulted by two men in Coleman Park at around 2am.

Christopher Palmer, 18, of Nixon Avenue, Ramsgate, was arrested close to his home at around 3.30pm that afternoon.

He has since been charged with rape and was due to appear before magistrates in Margate today.

A 15-year-old boy arrested at the same time has been bailed, pending further inquiries, until Wednesday, May 13.

Bail conditions mean the youngster must live outside the Ramsgate area until then.

Kent Police have conducted house-to-house inquiries in the town and witness statements have also been collected.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact DC Michael Freeman at Margate police station on 01843 231055, or Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Concerned local residents can contact Ramsgate PCSOs Dan Mimran and Ann Finch for advice on 07772 225981 and 07772 225970 respectively.
