Not guilty verdict - client exonerated

Benjamin Mendy Case - Our Client's Case Dropped by CPS
NFA – prosecution decision
Our client was accused of offences involving three women. His case was linked to allegations against Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy. After proactive representation by us at the police station and direct with the investigating officer, all three cases were dropped.
Our client was an Assistant Head Teacher who was arrested for an allegation of sexual assault made by a former pupil. We reviewed the police investigation, kept in regular contact with the officer, and took pro-active steps to ensure that the case was closed as soon as possible.
Our client was captured on CCTV assaulting his partner at the end of a night out. He had no memory of the event and his partner was not supporting a prosecution. By arguing strongly for our client's outstanding character, our expert lawyers persuaded the CPS to drop the case.
We represented a young man accused of a Sexual Assault. He had been contacted by police but had no idea why. We arranged an interview which we carefully prepared for and followed up to provide further information to the police. As a result the case was quickly dropped.
