Five Brighton and Hove Albion footballers and an AFC Bournemouth player have been arrested by police investigating an alleged sex attack.

Six men have been held on suspicion of the alleged sexual assault of a woman in Brighton last July, Sussex Police said.

Five of the men - aged 18, 19, two aged 20 and one aged 24 - are from Brighton. A sixth man, aged 20, is from Dorset.

The alleged attack was reported to police at the time but the suspects were identified only last Friday.

Four of the men were held in Brighton at 4.20am today. A fifth was arrested in the city at about 7.20am and the sixth in Dorset at 10.30am.

There was no comment from the club.

The identities of the players from the Championship side, managed by Gus Poyet, have not been revealed.

Disclosure of the arrests came after the club settled their FA Cup third round replay against non-league Wrexham 5-4 on penalties on Monday night.

The result earned the Seagulls a money-spinning tie against Premier League side Newcastle at their Amex stadium.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "All have been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and taken to different custody centres in Sussex where they will be questioned in relation to an alleged sexual assault on a woman in July last year.

"This was reported at the time and the suspects were identified on Friday last week, leading to these arrests."

A spokesman for AFC Bournemouth confirmed that one of the six men arrested was one of their players, who is not being named.

Statements from Brighton and Bournemouth are expected later.

 

Must have been a big lass if it took 6 of them to hold her down, even Titus can normally manage sexual assault on his own.

 

how old is Kaz?

 

Kaz could be one. He is about 20 I think.

Can see them playing versus us though, footballers get away with things.

 

Sounds like most of them could be academy players. All from Brighton...

 

I'm assuming "from Brighton" is due to the fact that that is where their residential addresses are, assuming that most of the squad will live not to far. But let's not speculate as to who, as it's a dangerous game to play!
