Men charged in connection with alleged rape of 12-year-old
Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was arrested on 26 July and charged the next day with rape, Warwickshire Police said.
He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court on Monday and has been remanded in custody.
Mohammad Kabir, 23, was arrested in Nuneaton on Thursday, the force said.
He was charged with kidnap, strangulation, and aiding and abetting rape of a girl under 13.
He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court on Saturday and has also been remanded in custody.
Both men will next appear at Warwick Crown Court on 26 August.
Officers are appealing to anyone who was in the Cheveral Street area between 8.30pm and 9.45pm on 22 July and may have seen anything of interest to come forward.
People can give information by calling 101 and quoting incident number 418 of 22 July.
Warwickshire Police did not deny a Mail on Sunday report which said both Mulakhil and Kabir are asylum seekers.
In a statement, the force said that once someone is charged with an offence, it follows national guidance, which 'does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status'.
The force said: 'Our neighbourhood officers work every day with local community partners.
'When something significant happens, we brief these partners and local elected officials on the circumstances of the crime, the investigation, the work being undertaken to arrest those responsible and how local people and partners can help a concerned community.
'Where relevant, sensitive information around locations, details of the crime and policing activity to catch offenders can be shared, with a warning that this is sensitive or confidential information and disclosure by those being briefed could affect future court hearings.
'We work to hold offenders to account and will always do everything in our power to present a robust case to the courts and protect the integrity of court proceedings.'

Swindon coach Holloway vows to hunt down fan who threw seat at Walsall player
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway was left seething after a fan reportedly threw a seat at Walsall goalkeeper Myles Roberts in a League Two match, urging the club to identify and reveal the name of the supporter involved in the incident. British media reported that an object was thrown from the crowd towards Roberts in the final minutes of Walsall's 2-1 win over Swindon on Saturday. The object did not hit Roberts but landed near him, with Holloway saying in an interview with club media that it had been part of a stadium seat. "I'm disgusted by whoever that person was. Whoever you are, you're not a Swindon fan. I'm not having you and I hope you get caught. That is absolutely horrific," said the 62-year-old Englishman. "How dare you put our club in the situation that you've just done. You think that's in our name. It's not in my name. It's not in this badge's name. And we don't want you in football. That's how I feel. "So let's find them, whoever it is. Give us a name ... If you've ripped a seat out and you've thrown it at somebody, I just can't stand you, whoever you are. And I will find you. I want us to find that person and shame them." In a statement, Swindon said they were working with Walsall and local authorities to identify those responsible. "Let us be clear: any individuals found to have engaged in such actions will face the strictest possible sanctions, including banning orders and legal action where appropriate," the club added.
