Falsely accused of rape, our client faced three grueling trials before being found not guilty. Inconsistencies in the complainant’s story, backed by solid evidence, exposed the truth. With the expertise of our defence solicitors, justice prevailed.

Our client, a photographer who advertised for film extras, was charged with two counts of rape and attempted rape. The complainant had initially contacted him for a photoshoot, which he agreed to. Days later, they met for drinks and later returned to his studio. Weeks after the encounter, the complainant accused our client of rape, but this coincided with her claiming that she had lost expensive bangles at the studio. The police attended our client’s home, questioning him about the missing bangles and later searching the studio. He was subsequently arrested for the allegations and sought the expertise of our defence solicitors to fight his case

This was a life-changing moment for our client, who had never been involved in any criminal activity. Facing serious rape allegations, he turned to our experienced defence solicitors for help. Knowing the severity of the charges, we immediately launched a detailed investigation. We worked with forensic experts to examine the scene where the alleged offence took place, and crucially, no DNA evidence was found linking our client to the crime. Throughout the investigation, our dedicated defence lawyers maintained regular updates with our client, ensuring he was informed of every development. We also contacted the pub where they had met to review receipts from that night. Although the complainant claimed she was heavily intoxicated, the receipts revealed that the amount of alcohol purchased did not support this claim.

Further inconsistencies emerged in the complainant’s statements. She alleged that our client had initiated their meet-up, but after reviewing their messages, we found it was actually her suggestion. Additionally, she claimed to have been severely drunk, yet CCTV footage from the train station showed her behaving normally, contradicting her claims of excessive intoxication.

After three trials, our client was found not guilty of the rape allegations. This case highlights the devastating impact false allegations can have on individuals.
