Police are investigating the alleged rape of an 18-year-old woman at a Pokémon-themed club night to celebrate the release of A-level results.

Kent Police said the victim told officers she was attacked in the toilets of Moo Moo nightclub in Tunbridge Wells in the early hours of Friday morning.

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

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.
