For one thing, he didn't just pick a house in Newcastle to go visit and rape a girl, did he?

If you followed the ins and outs of the information provided in the trial, it's no wonder that it took the jury such a long time and multiple trials, just to be able to find him guilty.
And they did find him guilty because a girl is allowed to change her mind and not have the guy insisted on violently fingering her when she says no.
