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.
