The son of former Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes has been acquitted of sexual assault on a minor.
Joseph Foulkes was on a trial for a second time on charges that he forced himself on a 13-year-old girl, who wasn’t old enough to consent to the act.
Foulkes was jailed for 10 years after he was convicted at his first trial in 2015. But the Court of Appeal reversed the jury’s finding and ordered a second trial in 2018. Foulkes was released on $9,500 bail weeks after the order for a new trial was made.
