Footballers avoid gang rape charges

TWO Premiership footballers questioned over an alleged “gang rape” of a 17-year-old girl will not be charged, it was reported yesterday.

The lawyer for players Titus Bramble and Carlton Cole was unable to confirm the development, but said he believed police would be in touch relatively soon.

According to The Sun newspaper, the Crown Prosecution Service has decided there is insufficient evidence to prove the teenage girl did not consent to sex with Bramble and Cole, and two other men.
