Newcastle District Court: jury to continue deliberations over alleged Tinder abuse in trial of Justin Kane Millington on Monday

The jury retired to consider verdicts at 2.30pm on Thursday and spent the day continuing to do so on Friday.

Judge Penny Hock dismissed the group for the weekend just before 3.30pm, with no verdicts yet reached.

Mr Millington, 49, has pleaded not guilty to counts of sexual intercourse without consent, sexually touching a person without consent and inciting another person to sexually touch them without consent.

He is accused of raping a woman in bushland near the Fernleigh Track in 2020 before sexually touching another woman at her home in 2021.
