A plumber from Chaguanas has been acquitted of the statutory rape of a teenage neighbour in 2010.

The man, whose identity was withheld due to the outcome and his connection to the alleged victim, was found not guilty of the crime at the end of his trial before Justice Gail Gonzales and a nine-member jury, last Friday.

The man was accused of having sex with the 14-year-old girl with her consent on November 17, 2010.
