A 26-YEAR-OLD man will appear before magistrates tomorrow accused of raping a teenage girl and sexually abusing another.

The man was arrested today by officers from Operation Bullfinch, the investigation into sexual abuse of girls in Oxford by a gang.

Police have announced tonight the man has been charged with raping a girl who was then 16 and sexually abusing another who was then 17.

He will appear before Oxford magistrates tomorrow but police have refused to release his name, saying there is a legal reason to withhold it.
