The ex-husband of reality star Katie Price was cleared of raping a 13-year-old schoolgirl.
Kieran Hayler, 39, was accused of sexually assaulting and raping the schoolgirl in West Sussex in 2016.
The ten jury members returned majority decisions on Thursday morning after deliberating for nearly 15 hours.
Hayler, of Northchapel, West Sussex, wept as he was released from the dock at Lewes Crown Court.
His mother and former partner Michelle Pentecost were crying as the verdicts were delivered.
Hayler was cleared of three counts of rape, sexual assault and four alternative charges of sexual activity with a child.
The former stripper was married to the glamour model and TV personality from January 2013 until July 2021.
His turbulent relationship with Ms Price was laid bare during proceedings as he accused his ex-wife of setting him up with 'fabricated' allegations and said it was a 'smear campaign against me'.
But the celebrity witness denied being 'angry and vengeful' towards her ex-husband.

Hayler was emotional and bent over as he was told by the judge he could leave the dock and is discharged.
During the trial, Price was accused by her ex-husband of 'coaching' the alleged victim after discovering messages in which his then-wife suggested he fancied the girl and promised to make her 'a little star'.
Hayler told the court: 'I am attracted to older women', adding that all his significant relationships had been with older women.
He admitted having affairs with three other women during his marriage to Price, but claimed she had also been unfaithful.
The court heard that the couple's relationship had broken down by mid-2013, with Hayler telling jurors that 'trust had gone on both sides'.
Hayler said he discovered messages between his wife and the alleged victim in 2017 while searching Price's phone for evidence that she was having an affair.
The court heard that Price had messaged the teenager claiming she had heard Hayler and the girl had kissed and that he had 'tried it on' with her.
In another message, the former glamour model told the girl: 'I will make you a little star.'
Hayler said he found the exchange suspicious and took photographs of the messages on his own phone.
Asked by his defence barrister Arlette Piercy why he had photographed them, he replied: 'Because she made out that I fancied (the complainant).
'I thought, "This is a bit weird".'
Judge Mark van der Zwart sent out of the jury, made up of six women and five men, to begin their deliberations on Tuesday afternoon.
In closing speeches on Monday, prosecutor Ryan Richter said: 'You've seen the big personalities, the big egos in this case and you'll judge it, you'll cut through it.
'You'll decide whether those big voices drown out the voice of (the complainant) or whether that voice has made you sure on the counts of this indictment.'
Defence barrister Arlette Piercy said in her closing speech that Hayler has been consistent and clear throughout his defence, in what has been a 'roller coaster ride for everybody in this court'.

Hayler said the allegations started after he split from his ex-wife and after she checked out of the Priory following her conviction for rolling her car while under the influence of drink and drugs.
He said: 'The timing is almost identical. Every time something was going bad for her, a bad news story or something to do with me, there would be a threat to do with me and this.'
He said despite being checked into the Priory after her conviction, Katie Price was 'out and about', adding: 'This was three years after our relationship ended.
'She had her phone in the Priory. She was out and about for hairdresser, shopping.
'Then all of a sudden this allegation is made. Miss Price, I think, is behind the allegation.'
Hayler also described finding the aftermath of a drink and drugs binge at Price's home dubbed 'Mucky Mansion' after they split.
The jury heard he found cocaine and empty bottles around the house in Sussex before he moved out in 2018.
Former reality TV star Hayler met Ms Price in 2012 and proposed on Christmas Day.
They married at a luxury Caribbean resort the following year but separated in 2018 and divorced three years later.
