A MAN has been charged with three counts of rape in York.

The 25-year-old was arrested in August last year in Blake Street.

A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Police said the three counts of rape all date to 2014. In each case, the complainant was a 15-year-old girl but police could not say whether the offences all related to the same girl.

The man is due to appear before York and Selby Magistrates’ Court next month.
