A teenager accused of rape and indecent assault has been charged over a second sex attack.

The 15-year-old is alleged to have assaulted a 17-year-old girl in fields near Cross Levels Way, Eastbourne, on October 6.

When he appeared before Eastbourne magistrates yesterday, police were given 24 hours to question him over another attack.

Today they announced the youth had also been charged with the rape and indecent assault of a 15-year-old girl in Hampden Park, Eastbourne, on May 7.

The youth, whose identity is protected by a court order, was today due in court again.
