Sean Hogg, from Hamilton, who was originally found guilty by a jury of sexually assaulting the then 13-year-old on various occasions in 2018, smirked as he walked out of court.
A Scots teenager has said she has “no hope of closure” after a man accused of raping her had his conviction overturned. Sean Hogg, from Hamilton, was originally found guilty by a jury of sexually assaulting the 13-year-old on various occasions in 2018.
Mr Anwar said: “My client has asked me to make a statement on her behalf. She states that when she went to the police, she had a hope for justice. When the jury returned a verdict of guilty, she thought that finally she could move on with her life. “She asks, is there anyone who will say that it was never the intention of the sentencing guidelines for under 25’s to mean that convicted rapists could escape imprisonment.
“It is always the responsibility of the trial judge to formulate the appropriate legal directions to give a jury. In this case, the procedure adopted was manifestly unfair and prejudicial to the defence and, on this basis the appeal had to succeed.”
