Sexual Intercourse Without Consent and Assault Charges Defended, Found Not Guilty on All Counts

CK was charged with 19 various counts including four counts of sexual intercourse without consent, choking, stalk/intimidate, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault. CK entered pleas of ‘not guilty’ to each charge.

The matter went to Trial in the District Court in May 2025. Chris Cole instructed Margaret Cunneen SC at Trial. The Trial lasted approximately three weeks. The jury returned verdicts of ‘not guilty’ on every count, after having deliberated for only five hours.

This was an extreme relief for the client and a fantastic result after travelling through the Courts for more than two years.
