A man has been cleared of sexual offences following a trial lasting six days.

Mark Street, 51, of Spalding, walked free from Lincoln Crown Court after a jury returned not guilty verdicts on 11 charges.

Mr Street had denied all the allegations against him, including seven counts of indecent assault, one charge of indecency with a child, one charge of sexual assault on a child under 13, one count of exposure and one offence of voyeurism.

Following the verdicts on Tuesday afternoon, Recorder Simon King discharged Mr Street from the dock.
