A British Army soldier accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague in her room at Sandhurst following an all-night bender has been cleared of all charges.   

Private Craig Gough was said to have attacked the woman at the world-famous military academy after ‘going to see if she wanted sex’ following a boozy night out.

The 36-year-old was accused of telling her ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to bum you’, during the incident.

However, he told a court martial that he and the woman - who cannot be named for legal reasons - had consensual oral sex, and denied grabbing her by the throat or assaulting her.
