A father accused of leading the gang rape of his daughter along with a family friend has been found not guilty on all charges.

The father, 45, from north west London, was accused of sexual assault, causing or inciting sexual activity, rape, conspiracy to rape and perverting the course of justice. His friend was charged with two counts of conspiracy to rape. Neither of them can be identified for legal reasons.

The trial at Wood Green Crown Court lasted a month, and on Monday the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges.
