A MAN has been charged with raping a woman in the early hours of the morning at a popular seaside resort.
Sam Soyoye, 31, has been charged with raping the victim close to the Palace Pier on Brighton Beach, East Sussex, last Thursday, and has also been charged for three previous counts of sexual assault.
The former charges were made in relation to separate reports filed by another person in September last year.
Soyoye appeared in court on Saturday and has been remanded in custody.
Detective Inspector Kirstie Neal, from the Brighton Safeguarding Investigations Unit said: “Both victims are receiving support from specially trained officers, and we encourage all victims of rape or sexual offences to come forward and report it to the police.
“Advice and information about how we conduct a rape or serious sexual assault investigation is available on our website, as well as advice about how to receive further support”.
Cops are currently appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
You can contact the police online, or by calling 101, quoting serial 144 of 01/05.
