Aggravated sexual penetration acquittal by jury

Our client, an eastern states man working fly-in-fly-out in the Pilbara was charged with aggravated sexual penetration without consent following a night out with his mates. His mate was charged as a co-accused when the complainant alleged she did not want a threesome and alleged the act of penetration was without consent. Despite our client and the co-accused being honest about their involvement in what they believed to be a consensual sexual act and despite each of them separately participating in detailed interviews with police in circumstances where there was no opportunity for them to have made up their stories, they were both charged and forced to defend the allegation at trial. After a 3-day District Court trial in South Hedland, both our client and the co-accused were acquitted.
