Chelmsford Iranian sex gang trial: Jury out to deliberate verdicts

From the Essex Chronicle. I don’t yet know if they reached a verdict yesterday or are expected to continue deliberating today.

The jury are out to deliberate verdicts as the seven-week trial of five men accused of being part of a Chelmsford-based sex gang draws to a close.

Members of the jury heard closing speeches from prosecutor Christopher Paxton last week, as well as speeches from the five barristers representing the defendants.
