The Crown Solicitor in the case of the teacher cleared of indecently assaulting three schoolgirls says none of the students admitted to lying.

The jury only needed an hour to return not guilty verdicts on all seven charges.

It was reported the complainants recanted on their claims during the trial.

Brian Dickey QC told Mike Hosking the three students never admitted they lied about what happened to them to get him fired.

"Outright misreporting by a major press agency, that complainant and the other two all maintained that what happened, happened to them."

Dickey says one other student admitted making up what happened to someone else to support their case.
