Two 14 year old boys from Fordingbridge have been charged with rape.

It's after a 14 year old girl alleges she was attacked on the town's recreation ground on Friday night (17th January).

The teenagers are also accused of threats to kill, kidnap and possession of a knife.

The pair are due before Southampton Youth Court today (Tuesday 21st January).

A 13 year old boy from Romsey, who was also arrested in connection with the incident, has since been released on conditional police bail, pending further enquiries.

The girl involved is being supported by specialist officers from Hampshire Police.
