A schoolboy charged with rape will appear at crown court next month.
The 14-year-old from the Crawley area, who is too young to be named, is accused of raping a 19-year-old woman in the Memorial Gardens, Crawley, on September 30.
The teenager appeared at Chichester Crown Court yesterday for a plea and directions hearing.
He entered no plea and was released on conditional bail.
He is due to appear at Chichester for a further plea and directions hearing on March 7.
