Good afternoon. After a six-week trial, a high-profile Sydney man has been found not guilty on two counts of rape, with a jury unable to reach a verdict on three other rape charges.
The man was found not guilty on four out of a total nine charges. After 12 days of deliberation, the jury – made up of nine men and three women – was unable to reach a verdict on the remaining five charges, which included three counts of rape against three separate women. The man could now face a second trial on those charges.
