A former teacher at a Catholic home and school for delinquent boys in East Yorkshire has been acquitted of assault and indecent assault.
Michael Curran, 62, walked free from Leeds Crown Court earlier after a judge directed the jury to return not guilty verdicts on the two charges.
The allegations related to his time as a teacher at St Williams residential school in Market Weighton in the 1980s.
The trial continues into the case of James Carragher and Anthony McCallen.
Both plead not guilty to allegations of abuse.
