Man Acquitted of Rape Allegations

9 May 2025

Rupert Kent represented a former Britain’s Got Talent finalist charged with offences including two counts of rape. The prosecution alleged that the defendant, who also released an album through Simon Cowell’s Syco record label, had raped two women on separate occasions. After a 12 day trial at Southwark Crown Court, during which the complainants were extensively cross-examined, the defendant was acquitted on all charges.

Rupert was instructed by Bark & Co Solicitors.
