A businessman was cleared yesterday of sex offences against two teenage girls.
A jury took four hours to find Fadil Suleyman not guilty of six charges of sexually abusing two women now in their 20s. He was cleared of two more indecent assaults, between 1996 and 2000, earlier in the five-day trial.
Property developer Mr Suleyman, 52, of Downside Road, Acklam, Middlesbrough, had denied their claims, Teesside Crown Court heard.
