Jurors yesterday took less than three hours to clear a student at a prestigious musical college of raping a fellow undergraduate.
French horn player Adam Jordan, 24, was accused of attacking the woman in his halls of residence at Manchester’s Royal Northern College of Music.
He hugged tearful relatives outside court after being found not guilty by majority verdict.
Mr Jordan did not wish to comment but a family friend said last night: ‘His life’s been on hold.
‘He was able to complete his degree last summer but has been unable to take up an offer to study a Master’s course and has ended up working in a factory.’
During the week-long trial at Manchester Crown Court, jurors were told the complainant and Mr Jordan initially had consensual sex.
