Ex-Tremeloes Stars Cleared Of Assaulting 15-Year-Old Girl
.
(Classic Rock) Former Tremeloes members Rick Westwood and Len Hawkes have been acquitted of indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 1968. The pair were charged in November with one count each of indecent assault relating to an incident in Chester in 1968. Both men pleaded not guilty and were due to stand trial next year over the allegations. But the BBC report a judge at Reading Crown Court ordered that both men be found not guilty as there was no evidence to offer. Hawkes said he and Westwood felt like a "black cloud" had been lifted after the verdict, adding: "The past two years and seven months have been the worst time of our lives. Our families have had to endure the stress and media publicity and it's taken its toll on all of us." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
