Two teenage boys have been charged with rape following an alleged attack at a flat in Hull.

The pair, aged 14 and 16, are also charged with suffocation and ABH over the incident at a home on Princes Avenue in Hull on July 3.

The older boy faces further allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

Both have been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Hull Magistrates’ Court today.

Neither can be named for legal reasons due to their age.

Detectives launched a major probe after the alleged sex attack was reported.

DCI Leanne Murphy said: ‘Extensive enquiries have been, and continue to be, underway including hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from the local area being reviewed.

‘We also continue to work closely with partner agencies, as well as our protecting vulnerable people unit to establish the circumstances around this incident.

‘Whilst rare, incidents of this nature naturally cause concern within local communities, and I’d like to reassure the public that we are doing everything we can to investigate this incident which occurred within an address on Princes Avenue.’
