An ex-Manchester City and England Youth footballer accused of raping a heavily drunk young woman has been cleared by a jury in Grimsby.
The prosecution claimed that George Glendon, 22, was capable of 'predatory' sexual behaviour but the defence claimed the woman gave 'unreliable' evidence.
It is the latest in a series of rape cases which have ended in a not guilty verdict or have collapsed.
Mr Glendon was cleared by a jury of three men and nine women who took just over 30-minutes to reach their verdict.
The defence barrister claimed that the prosecution case was 'a million miles away' from proving him guilty.
