Footballer rape claims girl 'may sue'

A 17-year-old girl who accused two Premiership footballers of taking part in an alleged “gang rape” was today considering a civil action after the Crown Prosecution Service announced they would not be charged due to “insufficient evidence”.

The alleged attack was said to have taken place in September at the exclusive Grosvenor House Hotel in central London. The teenager alleged she willingly had sex with one man but was then gang-raped by others.
