James Hay represented a REME Captain this week acquitted of Sexual Assault, with allegations being made in the months following a Mess dinner.

The 6-person Board swiftly returned their Not Guilty verdict this afternoon.

The Captain was not made aware of the allegation against him until his Adjutant notified over seven months after the event that the RMP wished to speak with him.

A comprehensive prepared statement was advanced in interview, with the result that the Board were directed not to draw any adverse inference from his subsequent silence in interview.

James was instructed by Ruth Cassidy of Levales Solicitors.
