The youngest son of former boxer Chris Eubank was told he must reflect on his behaviour after a jury found him not guilty of raping a teenage girl on Brighton beach. Joseph Eubank, 27, walked free after a jury in Lewes found him not guilty of two counts of rape of the 16-year-old in July 2022. Speaking after the unanimous verdict, Her Honour Judge Christine Laing KC told Eubank he needed to reflect on his behaviour.
The judge told him: “You need to think about your behaviour, Mr Eubank. “You do have to reflect on your behaviour, it was not decent behaviour in any way shape or form.” Mr Eubank said sex on the beach after meeting the girl was consensual.
Sussex Police investigating officer, Detective Constable Em Hayler, said: “We respect the decision of the jury and the judicial process. "We acknowledge the impact this case has had on everyone involved throughout the past two years. I’d like to thank everyone who assisted us in our investigation and the subsequent court process.
