Police offer no comment on ‘gang rape’ claims

POLICE yesterday refused to discuss claims made by a football party fixer that he witnessed what happened on the night a 17-year-old girl said she was gang raped by soccer players.

Nicholas Meikle, who claims to socialise with several Premiership players, gave the News of the World a detailed testimony of the night of the alleged assault.

However, Scotland Yard yesterday said it was "not prepared to discuss" the claims or comment on whether Mr Meikle was under investigation.
