TWO men have denied raping the same woman in York city centre.
Zaid Zahir, 20, of Rosebery Street, off Leeman Road, York, and Farim Khan, 18, of no fixed address, made their first appearance before York Crown Court today (Monday, September 23).

They are alleged to have raped the woman in August in separate incidents in York city centre.

The Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, said their trial will be heard at York Crown Court starting on February 17. He remanded both men in custody until then.
