The JLS star has been cleared of all charges
Marvin and Rochelle Humes have led the tributes to JLS star, Oritsé Williams, after he was cleared of raping a woman at a hotel.
The former JLS star was arrested in December 2016 after allegations of rape were made against him and has endured ‘three years of hell’ since, according to Rochelle.
But today Oritsé , 32, was finally found not guilty of the alleged attack and Rochelle and husband Marvin took to Instagram to celebrate.
‘This here is our brother, one of the kindest, most gentle, thoughtful men I know. Today he was cleared NOT guilty after 3 years of absolute hell,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘I’m so proud of how you have conducted yourself throughout this time, I really don’t think I could have held myself in the same way. Reesh we love you so much and I’m writing this crying so many happy tears, it’s over.’
