A 29-year-old man has been charged with raping two women and a girl in Oxford.

Martin Dews, of Leeds, was remanded in custody last night and is due to appear at Oxford Magistrates’ Court today accused of one rape on a female under 16 and two rapes on women over 16.

Dews is also charged with sexual assault on a female over 16.

He was arrested in Leeds on Tuesday and held by Oxford police after officers launched an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse following an arson attack on a caravan in Plover Drive, in Greater Leys, Oxford, on June 11.
