LONDON (Reuters) - Two 10-year-old boys have been charged with the rape of an 8-year-old girl in London, British police said on Wednesday.

The two boys are due to appear at Uxbridge Magistrate's Court in west London on Thursday.

"The incident took place in Hayes, in west London, on October 27, that's pretty much all the detail we have," a police spokesman said.

The individuals cannot be named because they are minors.
