Friend of Jack De Belin charged over alleged rape

A friend of NSW State of Origin player Jack de Belin has been charged with raping a 19-year-old woman alongside the NRL star.

The 21-year-old man was arrested at a Shell Cove home on Monday and subsequently charged with aggravated sexual assault in company over the alleged December 9 attack in Wollongong.

De Belin, a 27-year-old lock for St George Illawarra, was charged with the same offence on Thursday.

Both men have been granted conditional bail ahead of a scheduled court appearance on February 12.
