LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 43-year-old Lincoln man accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her has been acquitted by a jury.

Online court records say the jury deliberated less than four hours on Monday before returning a verdict of not guilty on Ricky Lee Jackson. He’d been charged with sexual assault.

Police say Jackson allowed the acquaintance to stay at his apartment in November after she had gone out drinking with her friends. The woman told police she fell asleep several times and continuously woke up to Jackson performing sexual acts on her.

She had said she told him to stop. He told police that she didn’t tell him that.
