Four #students are CLEARED of #raping woman in #sex attack said to have been caught on film at top agricultural #college as case against them collapses

Four students accused of raping a woman at a summer ball at Britain's most elite agricultural college walked free from court today as the case against them was dropped.
However following the late disclosure of evidence, including text messages from the time of the offence, defence barristers acting on behalf of the group have criticised the police's handling of the case, accusing officers of ‘cherry picking’ and ‘air brushing’ evidence.
Leo Mahon, 22, Patrick Foster, 22, James Martin, 20, and Thady Duff, 22, who attend the world-famous Royal Agricultural College, had all denied rape, sexual assault and assault by penetration.

They were accused of raping the alleged victim at the end-of-year ball at the internationally-renowned Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in May 2014.

All charges against Mahon, Foster and Martin were dropped but Duff still faces one charge of possession of extreme pornography.
Duff, 22, a polo player whose mother Melanie was a Tory councillor for Swindon Borough Council and Mayor of Highworth, had faced three counts of rape.
He was also accused of a further sexual assault involving the same woman, which allegedly took place in October 2013.
His friend Mahon, 23, of Cirencester, was charged with three counts of rape and two of assault by penetration.
