Keharron Lee Bogstad was today (Tuesday, September 23) cleared of three counts of raping a woman - who cannot be identified - at RAF Croughton. The base is an US Air Force communications station in Northamptonshire and is very close to the border with Oxfordshire. Mr Bogstad denied rape on the grounds that he genuinely and reasonably believed the woman had been consenting, during activity involving sado-masochistic sexual practices. As such Judge Adrienne Lucking KC directed the Northampton Crown Court jury to acquit Mr Bogstad on all counts. The defendant, who walked free from court, had been originally charged in June 2023, following an investigation by Northamptonshire Police made with the full co-operation of the US Air Force.
