PLAYER 'RAPED' TEENAGER
This has been reported on both BBC's Ceefax service and ITN news-
"A teenage girl has made a rape allegation involving a group of
Premiership footballers, it has emerged.
Several players are alleged to have been involved in an incident at a
west London hotel at the weekend.
The Sun reported that the 17-year-old consented to sex with a player
from one Premiership club - but that seven other players from another
team became involved.
The girl reported the rape to police in central London, Scotland Yard
confirmed.
The girl's claims are now being investigated by detectives on
Operation Sapphire, the Met's task force to tackle sex crimes.
Detectives will take a statement from the girl before making further
inquiries with anyone she claims as being involved in the alleged
attack.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that the Metropolitan
Police Service have received an allegation of rape from a 17-year-old
female.
"At this stage it would be inappropriate to comment further."
A source said the investigation was still at an early stage."

The games played in London last weekend were Charlton-Liverpool, Arsenal-Newcastle and Chelsea-Villa.
What odds the names Bellamy, Bowyer or Dyer crop up in this somewhere along the line?
