Relevant offers
A US Navy serviceman has been found not guilty of raping a sex worker in a Sydney brothel.
The NSW District Court jury today also acquitted the sailor of an alternative charge of recklessly inflicting actual bodily harm on the woman with intent to have sexual intercourse.
Petty Officer Timothy Davis, 25, had denied both charges, which followed his visiting a brothel in the inner-city suburb of Potts Point while on shore leave on October 12 last year.
