Former deputy speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans arrives at Preston Crown Court, England, Thursday, April 10, 2014. Evans has been cleared of rape and sexual assault after a trial that threatened to end a high-flying political career. Nigel Evans, a Conservative first elected to Parliament in 1992, was arrested last year. Prosecutors alleged he used his political position to sexually assault seven young men between 2002 and 2013, some of them inside the Houses of Parliament. Evans accused the men of making up their allegations or exaggerating moments of "drunken over-familiarity." A jury at Preston Crown Court cleared him Thursday of nine counts of rape, sexual assault and indecent assault. (AP Photo/PA, Peter Byrne) UNITED KINGDOM OUT NO SALES NO ARCHIVE
