Two 18-year-old have appeared in court today charged with rape in New Plymouth.
The men were arrested after a 17-year-old woman laid a complaint with police in relation to an alleged incident last Friday.
The men face charges of rape of a female over 16 years of age, unlawful sexual connection, and indecent assault.
One is also charged with making an intimate visual recording of the incident.
A third 18-year-old has been charged only with making an intimate visual recording in relation to the incident and has yet to appear in court.
