A man has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a girl on New Year's Day.
David Wise, 44, of Rochester Avenue, Woodley, was cleared by a jury on April 4 on a charge of sexual assault on a child under 13.
He was accused of inappropriately touching the girl on New Year's Day in 2016 - although the complainant did not report this to police until some years later.
Wise always denied the charge.
