A man has been arrested after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly raped at a Pokémon-themed club night to celebrate the release of A-level results.

Kent Police received reports of the attack at MooMoo nightclub, in Tunbridge Wells, last month.

At the time, hundreds of students were partying at the "Pokémon A-level Adventure" event after receiving their results on August 19.

According to a post promoting the night on the club's Facebook page, revellers were "invited to adventure with us as we go Pokémon mental to celebrate everyone's A-level results".

It added the venue's three floors were set to become three different "Indigo League" locations - a reference to one of the franchise's television series.

Kent Police confirmed that a 19-year-old man was arrested over the reported attack on September 2.

He has been bailed until a date in January.
