A taxi driver has been cleared of indecently assaulting a blind customer when he called at her house to pick her up.
A jury found Michael George, 60, of Stanford Avenue, Hassocks, not guilty of two charges of indecent assault following a two-day trial at Lewes Crown Court.
The woman claimed he had put his hand inside her cardigan when he offered to brush cat hair off it and then made her touch him.
When interviewed by police, George said any brushing was not indecent and he denied making her touch him.
