A man has been charged with raping a teenager in a picturesque park in Canterbury.

Mobarak Mohammed, 18, is also accused of sexually assaulting another woman in her 20s in a separate attack on Saturday.

He appeared before Medway magistrates via a virtual court yesterday.

The rape is alleged to have happened in Dane John Gardens on September 20 last year, with the sexual assault in Upper Bridge Street reported at the weekend.

Mohammed, of Culpepper Close, Canterbury, has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Canterbury Crown Court on February 6.
