THE brother of Premier League footballer Titus Bramble was jailed yesterday for raping a teenage girl as she slept.
A judge sentenced Tesfaye Bramble, 31, to four-and-a-half years - and blasted him for showing "not a shred of remorse".
The girl, 19, had gone back to a Newcastle hotel with the Bramble brothers and their two pals after they met at a nightclub. She woke to find herself being raped and fled the hotel in tears, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Bramble, a former footballer who played for Southend, Stockport and Stevenage, denied rape and told police: "Women don't just come back to the hotel to go to sleep, they come back for sex."
But the labourer, from Ipswich, Suffolk, was convicted by a jury.
Sunderland star Titus was not in court to see his brother sentenced.
Wonder if this may play on Titus's mind.....
