Gardaí in Drogheda have confirmed that they are investigating an alleged sexual assault on a 17-year-old girl which took place after a group of teenagers from the town made an arrangement to meet through the Bebo website.

A Garda spokesman said that a male teenager has been arrested and questioned and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Gardaí are awaiting the results of forensic tests.

The girl was part of a group of three girls who communicated through the website with a number of male teens, and they are believed to have made an arrangement to go to the cinema in Drogheda.
