Retrial for Men Acquitted in Bucks Party Rape Case
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Two men, Maurice Hawell and Andrew David, will face a retrial after their convictions for gang raping three teenagers during a bucks party were overturned on appeal. Their younger brother, Marius Hawell, was acquitted and released from prison. The appeal argued that the trial judge made errors in her directions to the jury and that the verdicts were unreasonable. The original charges stemmed from incidents in February 2022 at an Airbnb in Newcastle, where two eighteen-year-old victims were pushed onto a bed, stripped, and swarmed by naked men, and a nineteen-year-old victim was raped. The mens lawyers claimed the jury might have misinterpreted their clients state of mind during the weekend, leading to the overturning of the convictions. The retrial is scheduled for December 12th.
