Four lower-league English footballers have been charged with sexual assault and voyeurism after being arrested following an attack on a woman last year.

Police say three players from second-tier Brighton and another from Bournemouth, which plays in England's third division, will appear in court on May 11 in connection with an incident in Brighton on July 17.

Another two Brighton players were arrested in January but one was immediately eliminated from the police investigation and the second was told Monday that no further action will be taken against him.

Brighton finished 10th in the League Championship standings this season.
