Two 14-year-old boys have been charged with rape after a girl was attacked in a park.
Hampshire Constabulary said the girl, also 14, was raped at Fordingbridge Recreation Ground, in the New Forest.
Police were called at 22:41 GMT on Friday and believe the incident took place earlier in the evening.
A 14-year-old boy from Fordingbridge is charged with rape, threats to kill, possession of a blade in public, and kidnap with intent to commit a sexual offence.
The second, also from Fordingbridge, is charged with rape, threats to kill, and kidnap.
The boys cannot be named for legal reasons, and will appear at Southampton Youth Court later.
A third boy, a 13-year-old from Romsey, was also arrested in connection with the incident.
He has since been released on conditional police bail, pending further enquiries.
Police said the girl is being supported by specialist officers.
