An Australian man who was accused of rape by an ex-partner will have to go through a second trial after jurors couldn’t come to a decision on one of the charges against him. The same jury acquitted him on three other charges, but could not reach a verdict on another charge, resulting in another trial.

The man was not allowed to tell jurors that the woman who has accused him has made numerous other false accusations in the past, The Australian reported.
