The case of a trainee healthcare worker who allegedly sexually assaulted two patients was dropped.

Ieuan Crump, 26, faced allegations that he touched two women inappropriately while carrying out a bladder scan at the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran in August 2021.

Mr. Crump had denied nine charges of sexual assault, including three counts of assault by penetration.

The trial at Cardiff Crown Court had been going on for more than two weeks, but after deliberating on the second day the jury was dismissed by judge Vanessa Francis.
