Sunderland's Titus Bramble cleared of sex assaults
Published: 31st May 2012 14:44:24
Premier League footballer Titus Bramble has been cleared of sexually assaulting two women.
The Sunderland defender was accused of groping a woman's bottom in a nightclub in Yarm, on Teesside, before sexually assaulting another woman in a cab home.
The 30-year-old, who was born in Ipswich but now lives at Wynyard in Middlesbrough, had denied the charges.
He was cleared by a jury at the end of a four-day trial at Teesside Crown Court.
Mr Bramble admitted that he was "quite drunk" on the night in September 2011 and shared a consensual kiss with the woman in the back of a cab before her mood changed.
Believing something was wrong, the taxi driver took the pair to a police station, where Bramble was arrested.
Sunderland AFC said it would not be making any comment about the case.
