Three jockeys have reportedly been arrested over the alleged rape of an 18-year-old woman at a party.

The alleged attack is said to have taken place on November 3 at a house in Chiseldon, Swindon, Wiltshire Police said.

The Sun reported that one of the jockeys was arrested while weighing in for a race due to take place last Saturday.

The trio, all in their early 20s, have been bailed until December pending further inquiries.
