A Chabad Lubavitch teacher has been acquitted of indecent assault against four underage boys.

Daniel Golomb, 46, was found not guilty on all 14 counts by a jury at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday.

The court heard evidence from four complainants during a two-and-a-half week trial. The jury deliberated for two days before reaching their verdicts.

The defendant, of Stamford Hill, denied all 14 counts.

Mr Golomb said: "I welcome the verdicts and the successful outcome of my case. I wish to acknowledge the hard work and professionalism of my solicitor, David Sonn, and my barristers Sarah Elliott QC and Emma Heath.

"This has been a very trying time, but it has brought my family and friends closer together."
