Dear Guardian journalist, I know this story appears in the "sports" section but on balance you could probably stand to lose your helpful final paragraph here:

Brighton and Bournemouth players arrested over alleged sexual assault

Five footballers at Brighton and Hove Albion and a Bournemouth player have been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman last July. Sussex police has confirmed that a quintet of men from Brighton and one from Dorset were questioned before being released on bail.

Officers from the Surrey and Sussex major crime team arrested four of the men at around 4.20am on Thursday, upon the Brighton team's arrival back from their FA Cup third-round replay victory at Wrexham the previous evening, and a fifth man was detained in the city at around 7.20am. A sixth man was subsequently arrested at 10.30am in Dorset...

Brighton, who are mid-table in the Championship under their manager, Gus Poyet, required a penalty shootout to edge past Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground on Wednesday night and set up a fourth-round tie against Newcastle United at the Amex Stadium. [Guardian]
