Ex-US Air Force Pilot Acquitted of Kidnapping and Assault Charges in London

Robert Prussak was cleared of all charges related to the alleged abduction and assault of a nine-year-old girl outside Harrods.

Robert Prussak, a 57-year-old former US Air Force pilot, was found not guilty of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a nine-year-old girl in London.
The allegations stemmed from an incident on April 22, when Prussak encountered the girl who had become separated from her family near Harrods.
Prosecutors claimed Prussak gave the girl water containing Benadryl and later assaulted her in Hyde Park, but no trace of the drug was found in tested samples.
The jury asked about DNA evidence during deliberations, and the judge confirmed there was none, leading to Prussak's acquittal.
Prussak maintained his innocence, stating he was trying to help the lost girl by taking her to a police station.
