(CNN) JLS singer Oritsé Williams has been cleared of raping a woman after a 2016 concert.

Williams and his tour manager Jamien Nagadhana, both 32, were charged by police in September , over allegations of a sexual offence in a hotel room in Wolverhampton, England.

Both men denied the charge and were found not guilty at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Tuesday, the UK's Press Association (PA) agency reported.

Williams, who was touring as a solo artist at the time, told the jury he had consensual sex with the woman. The prosecution had alleged he tried to have sex with her, before later raping her when she returned to the room to collect her belongings.

The singer, who starred in four-piece pop group JLS until they disbanded in 2013, showed little reaction as the jury's unanimous verdict was announced, according to PA, but said "thank you" to the judge after being told he could leave the dock.
