A 37-year-old man from Freeport has been freed of hav­ing sex with a teenag­er.

The man, whose iden­ti­ty was with­held based on the na­ture of the case and its even­tu­al out­come, was ac­quit­ted of the sex­u­al pen­e­tra­tion of a mi­nor charge at the end of his judge-alone tri­al be­fore Jus­tice Lisa Ram­sumair-Hinds on Mon­day.

He was ac­cused of hav­ing sex with a 16-year-old girl in a guest house in Chase Vil­lage in Jan­u­ary, last year.
