Description

Three men previously convicted for gang raping teenagers during a bucks party will face a retrial. Maurice Hawell and Andrew David will return to court, while Marius Hawell has been fully acquitted. Their convictions were overturned due to errors in jury instructions and unreasonable verdicts. The assaults occurred at an Airbnb in Newcastle in 2022, with victims describing being sexually assaulted by multiple men. Hawell and David are scheduled to appear in court on December 12th.
