Ravinder Saimbhi defended a 21-year-old man accused of rape and assault by penetration at Woolwich Crown Court. He had been remanded in custody for over 6 months awaiting his trial. The prosecution had alleged a stranger rape and the case was supported by CCTV and forensic evidence which was successfully challenged. The jury returned unanimous, not guilty verdicts on both counts within 2 hours resulting in the client’s immediate release. Ravinder was instructed by Helen Ricks at GT Stewart solicitors, Croydon.
