A MAN has been cleared of rape after the prosecution offered no evidence against him.
Lewis Parsons, 20, from Cwmbran had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the town in June 2021.
A not guilty verdict was directed by the Recorder of Cardiff Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke at the city’s crown court.
Mr Parsons, of Commercial Street, Pontnewydd had always denied the allegation against him and was free to leave the dock.
