A millionaire property developer has been cleared of raping a teenager after claiming he accidently tripped and fell on her.
Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was accused of forcing himself on an 18 year-old-girl who had slept on his sofa in his Maida Vale flat after a night out drinking.
His semen and DNA was found inside the young woman, but he said it was possible he had semen on his hands from having sex with the 24-year-old earlier.
In the evidence, Mr Abdulaziz showed how the girl had put her hand behind his head to pull him towards her, which is how he says he fell.
He said: “I’m fragile, I fell down but nothing ever happened, between me and this girl nothing ever happened.”
The jury acquitted him in just 30 minutes of deliberations.

If you read the link to the source story

there seem to be some credibility issues on both sides. That does happen. And England is where the notion of proof beyond a reasonable doubt originated. 
edit to add from the Mail story:
When she gave evidence to the court, the teenager had said she had gone into the bedroom but was unable to wake her friend, and feared she might be dead.
She said she fled the flat but did not call the police immediately because she did not want to 'aggravate the situation'.
Mr Bartfeld put to her: 'If you think your friend is dead you can't really aggravate the situation - she's not going to be more dead than you thought she was before.'
Mr Bartfeld said the teenager had lied because she was embarrassed Mr Abdulaziz did not want to have sex with her.
And it was a jury who acquitted him.
