Bramble cleared of all charges

Defender Titus Bramble has been cleared of four charges of sexual assault brought against him.

The 30 year-old faced four charges of sexual assault involving a 20 year-old woman and a 26 year-old woman in Yarm on September 28 last year.

The former Newcastle, Wigan and Ipswich defender told the jury that he 26 year-old was mistaken and the 20 year-old had consented to what occurred in a taxi.

After deliberating for two hours and 15 minutes the jury returned a verdict of ‘not guilty’.
