What I read was there was new evidence presented at the appeal and that is why the appeal was successful. As it's subject to reporting restrictions no-one knows what that new evidence is yet.
Found Not Guilty at his re-trial.

So the daft lad has been found not guilty to tape after a lengthy period of conviction and retrial. At last justice is seen to be done.
There are several things about this case that I found odd.
1, his fiancées dads money has helped clear his name, how would someone without the financial clout fared.
2, He was castigated before the full judicial system had been completed.
3, He is still a plank for putting himself in that situation.
having a drunken one nighter isn't illegal. At least not anymore apparently.
It's still a very risky thing to do and we need more education out there about it.
I'm not just taking from the legal side but it's now a bigger factor than most think.
Not guilty of rape, but still a nasty piece of work.

Why is he a nasty piece of work?
Having followed this case from the beginning with interest, I was a bit dismayed to hear him being slagged off for being a rapist before the trial. Don't know if that was me being old fashioned re " innocent til proven guilty " etc.
I had made my mind up about him as a person, but that was my personal view.
But, what has been said this time in his retrial that was not said at his initial trial?
Above all else, I just have a gut feeling the public are not being told something about this case.
#92 sums it up nicely. You think this is the act of a decent man ?
Reading into the reports it would appear that they got some of her exs on the stand. I belive the main prosecution was that she was so drunk she couldn't have given consent. I imagine they exs confrimed that they frequently had drunk sex and therefor her act was more in character than she implied.
Up until a retrial was ordered he was a convicted rapist, by a system we have to believe in if we now accept the not guilty verdict.Having followed this case from the beginning with interest, I was a bit dismayed to hear him being slagged off for being a rapist before the trial.
