Four footballers have been charged by Sussex police on counts of sexual assault and voyeurism.

George Barker, Lewis Dunk and Anton Rodgers of Brighton & Hove Albion and former teammate Steve Cook, now of Bournemouth FC, are the players in question.

The Brighton trio, along with fellow Seagulls star Tommy Elphick, were arrested in January on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman in June of last year.

Elphick, 24, was eliminated from police inquiries the following day but his Brighton teammates have all been charged with sexual assault, while one of them is also charged with voyeurism.

All four men have been bailed to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court on May 11.
