Accused in rape of girl, 13, found not guilty

Cliff David

A 24-year-old man walked out the Sexual Offences Court yesterday afternoon a free man, after a jury returned a verdict of not guilty of raping a thirteen-year-old girl back in 2019.

A visibly relieved Cliff David was told by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow that he was free to go but not before she admonished him to use his experience of having gone through a trial to ensure that he never finds himself before a court again.

The Judge also urged David to share his experience to educate his peers.
