美国Airman Keharron Lee Bogstad,24岁,在检察官决定不提出进一步证据之后,在北安普敦刑事法院被判定犯有三项强奸罪无罪。 U.S. Airman Keharron Lee Bogstad, 24, was found not guilty on three counts of rape at Northampton Crown Court after prosecutors decided not to present further evidence. 这一决定是在对Bogstad与申诉人之间社交媒体信息的完整记录进行审查之后作出的,直到辩方在审判的第一天才披露。 The decision followed a review of a complete log of social media messages between Bogstad and the complainant, only disclosed by the defense on the first day of trial. 检察官指出,这些信息,包括关于同意和界限的讨论,破坏了案件,使有罪判决不现实。 Prosecutors stated the messages, which included discussions about consent and boundaries, undermined the case, making a guilty verdict unrealistic.
