No charges will be laid against a group of rugby players accused of raping a young woman while they were in Wanganui for a match last year.
An investigation began when a complaint was made about a rape by members of the South Canterbury rugby team - in Wanganui for a Heartland Championship match - at the Kingsgate Hotel early on September 8.
Detective Senior Sergeant Neil Forlong of Wanganui police said their investigation into the incident was now complete.
