Chris Eubank Snr’s son Joseph ‘dragged girl, 16, along beach & raped her before asking ‘are you ready for round two?’
THE YOUNGEST son of Chris Eubank Snr raped a teenage girl on the beach before asking if she was “ready for round two?” hours later, a court has heard.
Joseph Eubank, 27, is standing trial accused of raping the then 16-year-old girl near Brighton Pier on July 16, 2022.
Giving evidence at Lewes Crown Court today, the alleged victim said she had been aggressively grabbed and forced along the pebbled beach.
The girl had been out celebrating a birthday with friends before they became separated.
She said she was “very drunk”, had lost her phone and was desperately trying to find it to call her friends when she was approached by Eubank.
She said he had helped her up when she fell two or three times, before sitting down next to her.
But Eubank is then accused of dragging her down the beach under the pretense of “going to look at the moon”.
The girl told police she was aggressively grabbed by the wrist before being led across the beach.
The jury heard that as she kept falling, she was pulled to her feet by Eubank.
She said: “He was quite friendly when we were on top of the steps then obviously when we were walking toward the end of the beach he was more aggressive.
“There was no conversation and no conversation on the beach.”
The court heard she was then forced to have sex with him near the water.
The distraught girl said she managed to call a friend and was found “hysterical, confused and very upset” a short time later.
Jurors were told Eubank then got up and walked off up the beach without saying anything.
Just hours later, the court heard she received a message on her phone saying: “Hey pup, are you ready for round two?”
Eubank admits he had sexual activity with the girl, but says it was consensual.
He earlier arrived wearing a grey jacket and trousers with a white short and brown trainers
Joseph’s dad Chris Snr held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995 during a stellar career.
His brother Chris is also a professional boxer, having shared the ring with the likes of ex-world champions Billy Joe Saunders and George Groves.
Eubank denies the offence. The trial, expected to last a week, continues.
