North Melbourne footballer Majak Daw has been found not guilty on three counts of rape dating back to 2007.
The 24-year-old pleaded not guilty and said that any sexual activity was consensual.
The jury handed down its verdict on Thursday afternoon, almost 24 hours after retiring to deliberate.
Daw, who was 16 at the time, was accused of raping a 15-year-old girl at a house party eight years ago.
