A MAN accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her bed has been cleared of all charges.
Christopher Perry had always denied one count of sexual assault and another of assault by penetration, both offences alleged to have taken place at an address in Chinnor, South Oxfordshire.
The 28-year-old of Post Office Lane, Beaconsfield's trial came to an end with two not guilty verdicts to both of those counts at Oxford Crown Court today.
Prosecutors had claimed that the alleged sex attack took place in June 2017 at a house in Chinnor, South Oxfordshire.

Earlier in the trial jurors saw a recorded police interview the alleged victim gave about the incident.
The woman claimed that, without consenting, her attacker sexually assaulted her in a bedroom, after a house party at her home.
Mr Perry, meanwhile, told police that the pair had been kissing and the activity was consensual.
The jury heard on Wednesday that the accused had told officers 'never in a million years would I take from someone without consent, it's not in my nature.'
He went on to tell police, the court heard, that the alleged victim had in fact 'wanted it.'
After a total of five hours and 16 minutes of deliberations the jury reached verdicts of not guilty and Mr Perry was cleared of all wrong-doing.
