The trial of six men accused of sexually abusing their deaf relative has been paused for more than a week to allow a juror go on holidays.
They have been deliberating for 12 days at the Central Criminal Court, returning seven guilty verdicts out of the 20 counts being considered.
One of the jurors has a long-standing holiday booked and the court took time to consider whether they should be discharged mid-deliberations, or all 12 jurors should take a break and resume after the break.
It was decided that the jury would pause its considerations and return on Tuesday, 9 June.
Previously, Ms Justice Caroline Biggs told jurors that there was no pressure on them to reach verdicts.
"Some deliberations take hours or days or weeks," she said.
The six men on trial, aged between 33 and 55, face a combined total of 20 charges - 16 of which relate to the main complainant, who is deaf.
Her three uncles and three younger brothers have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The abuse is alleged to have occurred over a 19-year period, between 1995 and 2014.
None of the parties in the trial, which started last October, can be named for legal reasons.
