CHRIS Eubank’s son has been found not guilty of dragging a teen girl across a beach and raping her.
Joseph Eubank, 27, was accused of attacking the 16-year-old near Brighton Pier on July 16, 2022.
He then allegedly messaged her, saying: “Hey pup, are you ready for round two?”
Eubank was today found not guilty to two counts of rape following a trial.
Lewes Crown Court was told the girl had been out celebrating a birthday with friends before they became separated.
She said she was “very drunk”, had lost her phone and was desperately trying to find it to call her friends.
Eubank then approached the teen girl, who was stood near the seafront, because he found her attractive.
He allegedly dragged her down across the pebbled beach under the pretence of “going to look at the moon”.
She claimed in her evidence that he became “aggressive” and forced himself on her near the water,
The distraught girl said she managed to call a friend and was found “hysterical, confused and very upset” a short time later.
Eubank admitted he engaged in sexual activity with the alleged victim but said it was “all very fluent and very consensual”.
He also claimed the teen looked “completely sober” as they chatted near the beach.
Following his acquittal, Judge Christine Laing KC told Eubank: “You need to reflect on what you did that night.
“It was not decent behaviour in any way shape or form.”
Joseph Eubank is the youngest son of Chris Eubank Sr, who held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995.
His brother Chris Jr is also a professional boxer and has fought the likes of Billy Joe Saunders and George Groves.
SUMMER is firmly behind us but that throws up the chance to grab some major bargains.
A number of retailers have slashed prices in their end of season sales with up to 90% off.
Shoppers can snap up planters, suitcases and even solar-powered garden lights from just 10p.
Of course, always remember if you’re considering buying any of the items below to shop around to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
We have picked our favourites from the summer sales but there might be other retailers selling the same or similar item for less.
You can use price comparison sites like Price Spy or Trolley to find out how much one item is selling for across different websites.
The Google Shopping/Product tab is also a quick way to scan the internet to see how much a specific item is selling for.
Make sure to factor in delivery costs for items too, as this can make buying from one retailer more expensive than another.
In any case, here are our eight top picks from the end of season sales.
Homebase is selling a solar-powered lantern for just £2 down from £8 – a 75% discount.
The light features a lattice design making it ideal for outdoor parties or gatherings where it can be hung from trees, pergolas or hooks.
Unfortunately, the lantern isn’t available to order via delivery but you can click and collect it from your local Homebase branch for free.
You can find your nearest Homebase branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.
You’ll want to be fast though as stocks are running low.
If the party lantern doesn’t take your fancy, Homebase has slashed prices on a number of other products.
Shoppers can get a four-drawer bathroom storage unit for £20, down from £45 or a crackle ball solar outdoor light for £2 instead of £4.50.
B&M shoppers are rushing to buy planters selling for 10p instead of 50p – an 80% discount.
The discounter is known for selling all kinds of bargains, not least homeware.
And shoppers in one B&M branch spotted the planters selling for just 10p each.
It’s worth bearing in mind, the planters might not be 10p at your local branch so bear that in mind before popping out.
If you’re looking to snap up some other B&M 10p bargains, you should download the B&M scanner app for free on to your smart phone.
You can use the app to scan barcodes in-branch to find out their real price, and sometimes they are cheaper than the price tag.
House of Fraser has slashed the cost of its grey and black long-sleeve women’s T-shirts from £35 to just £4.
Bear in mind there are only XXL and XXXL sizes left.
House of Fraser has hundreds of other products included in its clearance sale, with some giant discounts to be had.
We spotted a Tommy Hilfiger Blouse on sale for £11 instead of £35 and Calvin Klein jeans for £17 instead of £55.
B&Q is selling a La Hacienda Firepit for £40, down from £76, ideal for social gatherings over the colder months.
The pit comes with a steel drum and oil finish and is filled with wood to create a toasty fire.
Bear in mind, B&Q shoppers keen to snap one of these up should place a separate patio slab or brick base underneath the pit as it can stain the floor.
B&Q has also slashed prices on a number of other products in its clearance sale, including a cast iron chiminea from £80 to £50 and a decorating set from £30 to £17.
The Range has cut the price of its Single Foldable Hanging Chair from £190 to £100, offering shoppers 47% off.
You can also snap up a double size chair in the same style which costs £180 instead of £290 – a 38% discount.
Both chairs come with either one or two cushions and pillows and are made out of rattan resin wickers.
If the chairs don’t take your fancy, The Range has discounted dozens of other products.
Shoppers can get 10% off a pavilion gazebo selling for £360 instead of £400 or a rattan patio table for £40 instead of £50.
Bag this Next mirror for £55 instead of £150 – a 63% discount.
The mint green mirror is 100cm in height, 60cm wide and 2cm deep.
If you’re after something else, Next has cut prices on a host of homeware including a French Connection ceiling light for £85, a Catalina metal bed frame for £195 instead of £450 and a set of two tennis tea towels for £4.50 instead of £14.
Asda customers can bag this six-piece patio set for just £54.50 instead of £109 – that’s a 50% discount.
The set combines four folding chairs, a parasol and table with glass surface.
There is also a handy one-year guarantee on the set in case any issues arise.
Unfortunately click and collect isn’t available on this product and the delivery charge is a hefty £6.75 so bear that in mind before buying.
Asda has also cut prices on some of its other garden furniture including a metal sofa set which is scanning at £69.50 instead of £97.30.
Meanwhile, shoppers can snap up a green twirl planter for £3 instead of £6.
Summer might be behind us but it might be worth buying this suitcase from Dunelm for the next one.

There is also a two-drawer Lynton bedside table on sale for £49.50 instead of £99.
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
