It is the second time that a jury has failed to reach a verdict on a rape charge against Sherman Ip and it is unlikely that prosecutors will pursue the case for a third time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ip was accused of raping a young woman back in May of 2013. However, he told Southwark Crown Court that the sex was consensual and that he thought ‘everything was normal'.
