THREE men have been charged after a woman was allegedly raped on a beach in a popular UK seaside town.
Cops received reports of the attack in the early hours of Saturday, October 4, and rushed to respond to the lower esplanade in Brighton East Sussex.
An investigation into the horrifying incident was immediately launched with detectives arresting and charging three men in connection with the alleged rape.
The 33-year-old victim is being supported by specialist officers as the force’s probe into the attack continues.

The trio were remanded in custody and are due to appear before Brighton Magistrates Court today.
