The former head of the police watchdog has been found not guilty of raping and molesting two 14-year-old girls 40 years ago.
Michael Lockwood, 65, of Epsom, Surrey, was accused of sexually abusing the girls when he worked part-time at a leisure centre near Hull in his 20s.
A jury deliberated for nearly 10 hours at the Old Bailey, London to find him not guilty of all 17 charges – three rapes and six indecent assaults on the first complainant and eight indecent assaults on the second.
Mr Lockwood resigned from his job as director general of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in December 2022 after allegations first emerged.
