Snooker star cleared of rape

Snooker star Quinten Hann has been cleared at the Old Bailey of raping a 21-year-old student.

The 25-year-old player had denied raping the girl in his Savoy Hotel apartment last year.

A jury at the Old Bailey took two-and-a-half hours to find the Australian not guilty.

The South African university student who had made the allegation was not in court to hear the verdict. Hann's mother Mandy sighed with relief in the public gallery.

The student had told the court she was drunk after drinking with Hann and his friends at a club. She had walked to his flat and did not object to him kissing her or to sitting astride a naked Hann as they talked about his business interests.

But she said he had ignored her pleas to stop when he tried to make love to her on the floor of the lounge. Hann had insisted throughout the nine-day trial that the woman had made a play for him and had not objected to him fondling and undressing her.

"I did not try to seduce her," he said. "As much as a woman can go after a man, she went after me. The whole night, she was very willing."

He said he stopped making love to her, about 15-20 seconds after he started, when she said she was feeling guilty about her boyfriend.

In court she denied making up the rape allegation because of her boyfriend but said she had a one-night stand with a man in the past to get "revenge" on her boyfriend for being unfaithful.

Hann, who is known in snooker circles as the Wizard from Oz, told the court that he had lost his sponsorship following the rape allegation in October last year.
