Gareth Hock Acquitted of Rape

Gareth Hock, former England rugby league star, has been acquitted of rape and multiple assault charges after a dramatic three-week trial—but convicted on one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The jury deadlocked on a controlling behavior charge, which the prosecution has now dropped. Testimony revealed violent incidents including stones thrown and being dragged by car door, with the woman alleging Hock’s behavior worsened under the influence. Hock claimed he didn’t intend harm and that the woman attacked him with a meat fork. He’s set for sentencing July 7th, with the case officially closed on the remaining charge.
