Wanted man found after alleged rape of 13-year-old girl
The 19-year-old was identified as a wanted man by Thames Valley Police on March 9 after he didn’t attend a court date in connection with an alleged rape in Oxford last year.
In an update on Tuesday afternoon, April 7, Thames Valley Police confirmed a 19-year-old man has been arrested and is due in court on Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for the force said: “Thames Valley Police is no longer appealing for help to find a man wanted in connection with a rape investigation.
“A 19-year-old-man from Faringdon was arrested on Thursday (2/3) and is due in Oxford Crown Court tomorrow.”
The court since set a new trial date for December 14, and it was indicated it would likely proceed if he was found by then or not. The trial should last between four and five days.
