Medical Student Acquitted of Rape Charges, Focuses on Rebuilding Life

A High Court jury has acquitted a 40-year-old medical student of rape charges, allowing him to focus on rebuilding his life.

The verdict, delivered on December 12, followed allegations by his 27-year-old classmate stemming from an August 2023 incident.

Justice Ann-Marie Smith presided over the trial.

The prosecution called six witnesses, while the defendant testified on his own behalf, securing a majority not guilty verdict.

Reports indicate the two shared a consensual relationship before the allegation arose, reportedly due to differing expectations.

Defense attorney Lawrence Daniels said the case severely disrupted the student’s studies and attendance, impacting his life significantly.
