A 14-year-old boy appeared in court today to face charges of rape and robbery following an attack on a woman in Cowley.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was last night charged with two counts of rape and one of robbery.

It follows an attack on a 19-year-old woman in a park between the John Allen Centre and Cleveland Drive in Cowley on Saturday, February 9.

The 14-year-old appeared for a hearing at Oxford Magistrates' Court this morning and has been remanded in custody.

His next appearance is expected to be at the same court on Wednesday.
