KINGSTON, Jamaica — A 40-year-old music producer has been found not guilty of rape in connection with allegations dating back to 2020.

The accused, Eli Goodall, was acquitted after the trial judge upheld a no-case submission made by his attorneys, King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie and Patrice Riley.

The attorneys argued that the complainant was not a witness of truth based on the evidence elicited during cross-examination, in which it was unearthed that the complainant provided information to the court that was not consistent with her report to the police.
