A 45-YEAR-OLD man was today cleared of raping young boys.
A jury at Oxford Crown Court found Mark Anderson, of Dirac Place, in Didcot, not guilty on seven counts of rape after deliberating for almost nine hours.
Jurors could not reach a verdict on an eighth count and the charge will lie on file. There will not be a retrial.
Anderson's brother, Trevor Baker, formerly of Wessex Road, Didcot, was yesterday found guilty of three rapes, three serious sexual assaults and three indecent assaults between the 1970s and 2001.
