The accused, a police officer, was charged with sexual touching of a person under sixteen and sexual assault following an incident on August 19, 2011.
The complainant, his fourteen-year-old daughter, initially provided a detailed video statement to police describing inappropriate touching.
At trial, she recanted her allegations, stating her video statement was false and inaccurate.
The accused testified that he had inadvertently touched the complainant's crotch area while attempting to tickle her awake in a dark room, with no sexual intent.
The court found the Crown had not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted on both counts.
