Second man charged with alleged rape of teenage girls on beach

Another man has been charged after two teenage girls were allegedly raped and sexually assaulted on a beach.

Norfolk Police said Dawid Wlach has been charged with two counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault after the incident in Great Yarmouth on 16 May.

The force said the 35-year-old, of Caister-on-Sea, around four miles north of Great Yarmouth, appeared at Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre on Saturday.

The Polish national is the second man charged in the case.

Madalin Ilinca, 34, of Great Yarmouth, appeared before Norwich Magistrates’ Court last month charged with one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault.

Police said the charges relate to reports that two teenage girls were sexually assaulted and raped on South Beach.

Ilinca, a Romanian national, has been remanded in custody while Wlach has been conditionally bailed.

The force said both men are due to appear at Norwich Crown Court for a hearing on 28 July.
