Two youths, one 16 the other 17, were arrested and charged this afternoon with the rape and sexual assault of an Asian tourist in Opotiki on Monday night.
Police said an interview with one of the teenagers led to his alleged co-offender.
When police disclosed the rape yesterday they described it as "brazen, serious and alarming".
They said two men entered an Opotiki house shortly before 10pm Monday, forced their way into the victim's bedroom and violated her.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Standen of Eastern Bay of Plenty crime services unit, said today the victim was currently in the care of Victim Support.
He praised her courage and strength during the investigation.
"Her recall of events has been of significant assistance to our investigation."
Mr Standen said the woman did not want to be named and he did not specify her home country or how long she had been in New Zealand.
He added both teenagers would appear in Whakatane District Court tomorrow where police would oppose bail and request another court appearance on Friday.
