The defendant who had no previous convictions was accused of detaining a woman he had never met inside a cubicle of the men’s toilets in hotel, demanding oral sex and removing her clothes.
In addition to calling the Complainant, the Crown relied upon the evidence of a third party who was in the toilets at the same time as the alleged incident and recent complaint evidence as well as forensic evidence.
The jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty in under 30 minutes.
