Tweed cleared of indecent assault but jury undecided on 13 other charges

Former Irish rugby international David Tweed has been cleared of one charge of indecent assault, but the jury is still considering 13 other allegations of child sex abuse.

Mr Tweed, aged 53, of Clonavon Terrace in Ballymena, Co Antrim, is standing trial at Antrim Crown Court.

The railway supervisor, who is also a Ballymena councillor, was charged with sexually abusing two young girls over an eight-year period from 1988.
