Mr Jackson (26) was also found not guilty of sexually assaulting the then 19-year-old woman. However, the IRFU and Ulster Rugby issued a statement following the verdict, saying that Mr Jackson and Mr Olding will continue to be "relieved of their duties" as a review is conducted. For the most part Mr Olding sat impassively, occasionally whispering a word to his co-accused. Mr McIlroy rubbed his eyes and sipped water from a plastic cup while Harrison stared straight ahead. Three defendants - Mr Jackson, Mr McIlroy and Mr Harrison - were permitted to leave the dock first.
