Emmerdale actor Lewis Linford has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in a nightclub.
Linford, 22, had been accused of assaulting the semi-professional model, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in December 2007 at the Pozition club in Hull, East Yorkshire.
The woman claimed he fondled her bottom, tried to put his hand up her dress and asked her to have sex with him.
But a jury of seven men and five women at Hull Crown Court cleared Linford, who appeared under his real name of Lewis Smales, of the charge.
