Micheal Ward, an actor known for Top Boy, is on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in connection with allegations of rape and other sexual assaults. BBC News and other outlets report that the jury hears allegations the complainant was assaulted in a car after an evening that involved meeting the woman at a nightclub and leaving an after-party. The charges include rape and multiple counts of assault by penetration and sexual assault. Ward, 28, denies all allegations, with reports that he tells the court the encounter was “wholly consensual.” Several outlets state that Ward’s account to the jury is that the interaction was consensual and that he disputes the prosecution’s description of events. Some coverage also reports that jurors hear details from the complainant about how she felt unable to speak out. Other reports specifically state that the outcome of the case is that Ward is found not guilty of rape. The reporting across outlets therefore focuses both on the allegations heard during trial and on Ward’s denial and the court’s eventual decision.
