A university student who allegedly quoted Donald Trump before sexually assaulting a woman has been cleared after prosecutors failed to spot contradictions between her claims and her social media account.

Hugo Penfold, 21, was alleged to have sexually assaulted and raped the student and also raped a second female student at the University of Lincoln.

He allegedly sexually assaulted the first student after telling her “In the words of Donald Trump “grab her by the p****"' before assaulting her.

He was due to face a retrial later this month after a previous jury was discharged and would have faced a lengthy jail sentence if convicted of both charges.

However following a disclosure bungle, he was acquitted of all charges at Lincoln Crown Court last week and the prosecution has now dropped the case citing new information which undermined the evidence against him.

He told The Telegraph that now he “just wants to get on with [his] life”.

Speaking from behind at door at his home in Buckinghamshire on Tuesday he claimed the rape allegations against him had "nothing believable in them".

“The story was changed too many times for there to be anything believable in it,” he said. “One of them put something up on their social media of a completely different version of events and their representatives looked at it and thought 'we’ve got nothing'.”
