Hann cleared
LONDON, July 2: Australian snooker star Quinten Hann was cleared here Tuesday of raping a 21-year-old student.
A jury at London’s Old Bailey took two-and-a-half hours to find the 25-year-old not guilty.
The South African university student who had made the allegation was not in court to hear the verdict.
Hann, had insisted throughout the nine-day trial that the woman had gone after him not vice versa.
“I did not try to seduce her,” he said. “As much as a woman can go after a man, she went after me. The whole night, she was very willing.”
He said he stopped making love to her, about 15-20 seconds after he started, when she said she was feeling guilty about her boyfriend.—AFP
