Vincent Coughlin QC wins again; multiple acquittals in gang rape and sexual assault case at Snaresbrook.
Following Vince’s most recent success last June at Birmingham Crown Court where, after a 10 week trial his client, the first of 5 on an indictment, was acquitted of attempted murder (R v K & Others) Vince has gone straight on to successfully represent an 18 year old of good character, accused of gang raping and sexually assaulting a young and ‘vulnerable’ complainant over a two year period, Vince, again leading for the first of 4 defendants in a month long trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court , has secured rape acquittals across the board, including ‘statutory rape’ counts where the jury were effectively directed to convict.
(R v H, F, A & B).
