Facts of the Case - indecent assault, sexual penetration
Historic sex case from the 1970s. Complainant made allegations that they had been sexually assaulted 30 years ago. Complainant said they had known the accused and that he had performed sexual acts without consent. The accused denied having done anything at all.
Results Achieved
Jury acquitted the defendant of all charges. It was put strongly to them that that the complainant's delay in complaining had made it next to impossible for the accused to defend the charges.
This and our client's evidence which was clear and strong would have been the basis for them throwing the charges out.
