In her final comments prosecutor Kerry Malin claimed Mr Bacon "took advantage of a drunk woman in bed with her clothes on".

She said: "He turned up and could see a woman in drink and it was too good an opportunity to miss."

Judith Khan, defending, said that there was no evidence that the woman had or had not given consent and drunken consent was still consent.

She addressed the jury, saying: "How on earth can you be sure of guilt on the account of someone who cannot help one way or the other?"

Mr Bacon was cleared by the jury of four men and seven women after they deliberated for 45 minutes. "
So we've forked out tens of thousands of pounds to solicitors and barristers and we knew he would be found "Not Guilty" and it only took the jury a few minutes for them all to decide. How many more of these pointless cases are waiting? Why hasn't somebody at the CPS got the xxxxx to say "This isn't going anywhere"
