A 19-YEAR-OLD man has been charged in relation to two alleged sexual assaults against teen girls.
The incidents took place near a major UK station and police are now urging any witnesses to come forward, ahead of a criminal trial.
On Friday 9 May, one unnamed girl was raped and another sexually assaulted near the Digby and Sowton area in Exeter.
