RAPPER Slowthai has been found not guilty of raping two fans at a house party after he performed a gig. The Grammy-nominated artist, who is married to singer Anne-Marie, stood trial charged with three counts of rape. Slowthai – real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton – was accused of isolating the fans after instigating a “no phones and no boys” rule.

Frampton, 29, and co-accused Alex Blake-Walker, 27, then allegedly raped the pair before high-fiving each other. He has now been cleared of three counts of rape against two women. A trial at Oxford Crown Court heard Frampton had performed a gig at The Bullingdon music venue in Oxford on September 7, 2021.

The alleged assaults were said to have then taken place later at a party after the gig. The court heard the women joined the rapper and his friend on a tour bus before heading to the party. Once there, Frampton took the two women away from their friends as his entourage turned up the music to block any sound from the roof, jurors heard.

The court was told both women were allegedly raped simultaneously as he and Blake-Walker discussed “swapping the girls”. Jurors heard the alleged ordeal only came to an end when Frampton and Blake-Walker were interrupted. Frampton, who was supported throughout the trial by wife Anne-Marie, jumped from the roof into a garden below.
