File this under “Dafuq I just read?”
From The Independent:
A millionaire property developer has been cleared of raping a teenager after claiming he accidently tripped and fell on her.
Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was accused of forcing himself on an 18 year-old-girl who had slept on his sofa in his Maida Vale flat after a night out drinking.
His semen and DNA was found inside the young woman, but he said it was possible he had semen on his hands from having sex with the 24-year-old earlier.
In the evidence, Mr Abdulaziz showed how the girl had put her hand behind his head to pull him towards her, which is how he says he fell.
He said: “I’m fragile, I fell down but nothing ever happened, between me and this girl nothing ever happened.”
The jury acquitted him in just 30 minutes of deliberations.
Mail Online also reported that Judge Martin Griffiths had allowed Mr Abdulaziz to give evidence in private.
Seriously? Private evidence?
If this truly all there is to this story then reporting rape just became a waste of time in the U.K.
