A chef has been cleared of raping a woman who claims she was too drunk to have consented to sex.Peter Bacon, 26, of Pilgrims Way, Canterbury, was found not guilty at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday.
He had been accused of raping the solicitor, in her 40s, at her house after he was invited over for drinks by a friend in February 2008.
The judge said the woman's claim that she could not give consent because she was drunk was "completely wrong".
The court had been told the three of them drank about five bottles of wine over an evening before the friend left, leaving Mr Bacon and the woman alone.
