Court date set for man charged with racial harassment of Ugo Monye
By PA
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.”

Agree we need a 10, 12, 13 refresh. ASAP. Well, next season now lol. Reiko should be put back on the wing. He'll be an absolute menace there. Imagine 11 Reiko 14 Clarke 15 Jordan as the backfield unit.
Go to commentsIt took a whole season to wash the Foster stink out to be fair. There's still been substantial change though. I think only 7 starters from the RWC QF v IRE started the IRE test in Dublin. This year wasn't the year for full innovation, transition needs to be balanced, & incremental. The new coaches will be able to stamp their full mark on the ABs from 2025 when Razor will select his first proper squad from a mega talented player pool. Exciting times ahead.
