A GODMANCHESTER man accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his home has been cleared of all charges.
Paul Hagan-Chambers, 50, was found not guilty on four charges of rape and one of sexual assault by a jury at Peterborough Crown Court last Wednesday.
However, Hagan-Chambers will still face a prison sentence after admitting causing the woman actual bodily harm at his home in Tudor Road last year.
He admitted punching the woman in the face, but said it during a row in which the woman had jabbed at him with a knife.

He has already served more than a year in prison on remand while awaiting trial.
