Three men arrested after woman kept prisoner and raped at Doncaster home | UK News

Three men have been arrested after a woman said she’d been raped at a home in Doncaster.

The men, aged 24, 34 and 49, were arrested on suspicion of rape and false imprisonment after the woman reported the alleged rape in Marshland Road at 1.30am on Friday morning (December 8).

The woman was taken to hospital to be checked over, and she’s since been discharged. She’s been receiving support from police and the force’s specialist partners.

All three men have been bailed while the police investigation continues.

Detective Superintendent Eleanor Welsh of South Yorkshire Police issued a new statement warning people against social media speculation or trying to identify the victim.

She said: ‘Our investigation into this incident remains ongoing and we have detectives working tirelessly to establish the facts of what happened in the early hours of Friday morning.

‘Since the incident, there has been speculation and some misinformation shared online.

‘This is an active and sensitive investigation and therefore I encourage the public to avoid speculation about the incident as our enquiries continue.

‘Please also remember that victims of sexual offences have lifelong anonymity under the Sexual Offences Act.

‘If you identify a victim, or post information that could lead to the identification of a victim, you are breaking the law.

‘We are monitoring the information being shared online and will investigate any information being shared which could risk the victim being identified.’
