Court date set for man charged with racial harassment of Ugo Monye
A 31-year-old man is to appear in court accused of racially abusing former England international Ugo Monye.
Devon and Cornwall Police said Angus Beukes has been summonsed to appear at Exeter Magistrates’ Court on July 24 to face a charge of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress.
The charge relates to an alleged incident at Exeter’s Sandy Park stadium after their Gallagher Premiership victory against Gloucester last November.
At the time, the Chiefs apologised to the ex-Harlequins player-turned-pundit and said the incident had been caught on CCTV and passed on to Devon and Cornwall Police.
A force spokeswoman said: “Angus Beukes, aged 31, has been summonsed to appear before Exeter Magistrates’ Court on July 24 2024 where he will be charged with racially/religiously aggravated harassment/alarm/distress by words/writing.
“The charge relates to an incident on Sunday November 19, 2023 in Sandy Park Way, Exeter.
“We must now respect the court process and would ask that members of the public do not risk prejudicing these proceedings by speculating on social media.”

Same ole same ole with TJ. Ref this week thankfully didn't have a chip on his shoulder.
It's not something we should have to say that were thankful for, it should be the case with every ref, but obviously it's not.
Did I hear right and Darry was an unused sub as well? Strange ploy and one I think I can definitely remember being in Fosters playbook when his teams were struggling a lot.
