Two Ireland rugby internationals have been acquitted of rape after a nine-week trial.
Paddy Jackson and team-mate Stuart Olding had always denied raping the same woman at a house in south Belfast in June 2016.
Jackson was also found not guilty of sexual assault, a charge he also denied.
The jury of eight men and three women at Belfast Crown Court returned its unanimous verdict after deliberating for a total of three hours and 45 minutes.
The foreman answered “yes” when asked by a court clerk if the 11-member panel had reached a verdict on which they were all agreed.
