A jury was today considering its verdicts in the trial of three Bradford teenagers accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl and photographing her semi-naked body as she lay comatose in a field after drinking vodka.
Judge David Hatton QC sent the jurors home at 4.15pm yesterday after they began their deliberations in the middle of the afternoon.
The court was set to reconvene at 10am today.
The three teenagers, a boy of 15 and two girls, aged 14 and 15, deny sexually assaulting the girl in Queensbury on December 22, 2011.
The 15-year-old girl pleads not guilty to taking or making indecent photos of the girl and distributing some of them to another boy. The boy and the younger girl deny taking indecent photos of the girl.
The three teenagers agreed they took pictures but deny there was anything sexual about what they did.
The trial continues.
