Three men have been charged with raping a woman on Brighton beach, Sussex Police has said.

Sussex Police said Abdulla Ahmadi, 25, an Iranian from Crewe, Karin Al-Danasurt, 20, and Ibrahim Alshafe, 25, both Egyptians from Horsham, have been arrested and each charged with two counts of rape.

The force added the three men had been remanded in custody and were due to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
