Three jockeys arrested 'over gang-rape of woman, 18, at Swindon house party'

Three jockeys have reportedly been arrested over the alleged gang rape of an 18-year-old woman at a house party.

The trio, all aged in their early 20s, were detained by officers after the alleged attack on November 3 at a house in Chiseldon, Swindon, police said.

One of the jockeys was arrested while weighing in for a race due to take place last Saturday, The Sun reported.

The three men have been bailed until December pending further inquiries.

A Wiltshire Police force spokeswoman said: "Detectives from Wiltshire Police are investigating an allegation of rape of an 18-year-old woman that occurred on November 3 at a residential address in Chiseldon, Swindon.

"Two men, aged 21 and 20, were arrested on November 4 and a third man, aged 20, was arrested on Saturday 5 November. All were taken to a local police station.

"They have since been bailed to return on a date in late December.
