Overview
- The District Court jury found Massa not guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent and two backup charges of sexual touching without consent.
- The charges arose from an encounter in the crowded smoking area of Universal Sydney in the early hours of June 1, 2024.
- Prosecutors alleged he put his hand down the complainant’s underwear and assaulted him, while the defence said any intimate contact was consensual.
- Trial evidence included CCTV from inside the venue and a recording in which Massa told police he did not sexually assault anyone.
- The jury deliberated from Friday and returned the not guilty verdicts on Tuesday before Judge Siobhan Herbert.
