A man who was found guilty of raping a 13-year-old schoolgirl in a park when he was 17 has had his conviction quashed.
Sean Hogg, 22, was convicted in April of attacking the girl twice in Dalkeith Country Park, Midlothian, in 2018.The case sparked huge controversy as new sentencing guidelines saw him given 270 hours of community service rather than prison because he was under 25. During sentencing judge Lord Lake told him that if he had committed the crime when he was over 25, he would have been jailed for four or five years.
When the appeal was first lodged, solicitor Aamer Anwar, who represented the complainant, said his client "had told the truth".He said: "My client in April of this year was left devastated. As far as she is concerned, she came forward. She told the truth. She spoke up. She believes the police and the jury did its duty.
