A RAPE trial jury was sent home for the night after failing to reach a verdict.
Earlier, the jurors found the 17-year-old defendant not guilty of a charge of sexual assault at Cardiff Crown Court. The teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, has already been cleared of sexually assaulting a second girl. He still faces one charge of rape and another of sexual assault.
