Bramble on sex charges

Sunderland defender Titus Bramble has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and one of urinating in a public place.

The 30-year-old, who was arrested on September 28, will appear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on November 10.

His lawyer Phil Smith, from London-based Tuckers Solicitors, said: “My client vehemently denies these charges and will be vigorously contesting them.”
