Unanimous Verdict: Men Acquitted in Controversial Sexual Assault Case
In a dramatic turn of events, a Northern Territory Supreme Court jury acquitted Panormitis Charalampis and Michael Vrouvis of all sexual assault charges. The two men, facing four counts each of sexual intercourse without consent, were accused of an incident in 2024 involving a woman they picked up outside a nightclub.
The trial revolved around the womans state of intoxication and her ability to consent. Prosecutors argued her intoxication made consent impossible, while defense lawyers pointed to her inconsistent memory and assumptions.
The verdict, read after nearly seven hours of deliberation, sparked emotional reactions from family members and the accused. The two-week trial highlighted the complexities of proving consent amid alcohol and memory issues.
