Curfews were today imposed on two teenagers facing charges linked to the rape of a 14-year-old girl in Ballycastle, Northern Ireland.

They have also been ordered to keep out of the Co Antrim seaside town and to stay off alcohol.

The restrictions were imposed as part of bail conditions when the juveniles appeared before a magistrate in Ballymena.

A youth aged 14 was charged with rape, while the second, a 16-year-old, was accused of trespassing in a caravan with intent to rape.
