Nate Lara successfully defends client in Winchester Crown Court
1st July 2025

3PB Barristers' (3 Paper Buildings) crime barrister Nate Lara has successfully secured an acquittal for his client in relation to a serious sexual offence.
SB was charged with a public sexual assault in a pub, where two eyewitnesses and a complaint witness gave evidence before a jury. Nate was able to undermine each of the witnesses and ensure that a solid defence of denial was put before the jury.
Following a three-day trial at Winchester Crown Court, the jury returned a majority not guilty verdict, and the defendant was awarded a costs order by the judge.
Nate was instructed by Kate Harrington of Penfold & McPherson.
