A MAN arrested by police investigating a serious sex attack in Huddersfield 15 years ago has been charged with rape.

The 40-year-old was due to appear before Leeds Magistrates Court this morning.

He was arrested by officers from the newly-formed West Yorkshire Homicide And Major Enquiry Team in Huddersfield yesterday morning.

They were re-investigating a case dating back to 1990 when a 45-year-old woman was allegedly raped in Huddersfield.
