DETECTIVES are investigating a complaint by a 19-year-old girl that she was raped in Nelson last night.
Detective Inspector Simon Leach, of Nelson CID, said: "The alleged offence took place indoors.
"She has been seen by a police surgeon and will be interviewed fully today."
Mr Leach said officers had a suspect and were following up lines of inquiry.
On November 15, a 15-year-old girl was pushed into an alley behind shops in Colne Road, Brierfield, and attacked. The offences are not believed to be linked.
A 19-year-old Brierfield man is on police bail pending the results of forensic tests.
