FOUR men have now been charged with gang-raping a woman who is said to have allegedly been lured on a fake date via an app.
The 22-year-old woman had arranged to meet a man she had been chatting to on an online dating app in June.
While she was in the bathroom of a home in Sydney, Australia, a group of men allegedly turned up and sexually assaulted her, the Supreme Court heard in August.
Cops arrested a 24-year-old man on Tuesday and charged him with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company, which carries a maximum term of life imprisonment.
He was set to appear in Bankstown Local Court on Tuesday.
A 23-year-old man has also been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company.
