John Vanderzwaag has been found not guilty of two counts of sexual assault dating back more than 20 years, after a jury in Charlottetown deliberated for more than nine hours.
A P.E.I. judge spent two hours instructing jurors in the John Vanderzwaag sexual assault trial on Thursday morning, before sending them off to start their deliberations.
John (Jan) Vanderzwaag testified at his sexual assault trial Tuesday, telling the court he had no sexual contact with one of the complainants, but was romantically involved with the other and believed what happened two decades ago in Charlottetown was consensual.
