A SHOP assistant accused of molesting four women was yesterday found not guilty of five charges.

Charminster Co-Operative worker Shailesh Tailor, 48, had denied six counts of sexual assault.

Two of the charges related to complaints made following a night out at the Five Ways public house and Havana Bar last September.

Defending, Stewart Patterson said Tailor had used Buddhist massage on all sorts of people, with no complaints.

Jurors cleared Tailor of five charges and were unable to agree on a verdict for the other charge.
