FOOTIE ace Titus Bramble has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and urinating in a public place.

The first sexual assault accusation relates to an alleged incident in a taxi while the second, made by a different woman, relates to an alleged offence in a nightclub, a source close to Bramble said.
The player was said to be stunned by the accusations.
The source added: "He's absolutely shocked that he's been charged."
The Sunderland defender, 30, is set to appear at Teesside Magistrates Court on November 10.
Police said today there would be no further action taken against the Premier League footballer over an allegation of possession of class A drug.
His lawyer Phil Smith, from London-based Tuckers Solicitors, said: "My client vehemently denies these charges and will be vigorously contesting them."
Cleveland Police said in a statement: "A 30-year-old man from Wynyard has been charged by police with two counts of sexual assault and urinating in a public place and will appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court on November 10.
"The man was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday September 28 on suspicion of sexual assault and possession of a Class A drug.
"He was re-arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on October 14 after a second allegation was made.
"He has been released with no further action on suspicion of possession of a Class A drug."
The star, who lives on the exclusive Wynyard Park estate near Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, was suspended from his team after the allegations against him surfaced, pending the outcome of a club investigation.
Bramble's career started at his home town club, Ipswich, before he moved to Newcastle United under Sir Bobby Robson for £6million.
He joined Wigan Athletic and then moved back to the North East with Sunderland last year.
The powerful but sometimes error-prone centre back was picked ten times for England's Under-21s.
