Following a Court Martial before a 6-person mixed RAF and Army Board, the AS1 was acquitted of Sexual Assault.

The AS1 was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow airman in the smoking area outside a packed bar on station.

The accused had always maintained that his behaviour did not amount to sexual conduct, and the Board this week found in his favour having heard evidence from seven witnesses.

James was instructed by Rabin Govindarajah of The Purkiss Partnership.
