Following a two-week trial at St Albans Crown Court, it took the jury under an hour to acquit the defendant on an indictment alleging an 8-year campaign of rape, violence and coercive and controlling behaviour against his long-term partner. The case was made more difficult by the numerous covert recordings made by the complainant, which were said by the Crown to support the allegations.
Gordon Carse was instructed by Oliver Mather of Lloyds PR Solicitors.
