The incident was alleged to have taken place near the Oceanarium

A man charged with raping a teenager and sexually assaulting another in Dorset has been cleared.

Antony Demetriades, 24, was accused of assaulting two girls on Bournemouth beach, near the Oceanarium, on 19 May last year.

Mr Demetriades, from Bournemouth, had denied two counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault.

Following a trial, a jury at Bournemouth Crown Court found him not guilty on all charges on Friday.
