A 49-year-old Co Laois man has been found not guilty of a series of oral rapes and indecent assaults of his now 16-year-old daughter on the sixth day of his trial.
The jury at the Central Criminal Court disagreed on a verdict on a further series of indecent assault charges after spending almost eight hours in deliberation.
Mr Justice Smith earlier withdrew another 12 charges of rape and directed a not-guilty verdict on them following submissions by defence counsel Mr John O'Kelly SC.
The man originally faced a total of 34 charges of indecent and sexual assault, rape and oral rape of his daughter on dates from 1986 to 1997.
He was remanded on the application of prosecuting counsel Mr Brendan Grehan on continuing bail to the next listing session at the court on January 27th to fix a new date for hearing the outstanding charges.
