"A stripper accused of raping the best man at a bucks party has been found not guilty of the charge in a Melbourne court.
After less than a day of deliberation, the Victorian County Court jury found Linda Maree Naggs, 40, whose stage name is Tiffany, not guilty of the charge.
In evidence, the court heard Ms Naggs was the second stripper for the night at the September 2007 Mornington Peninsula party and came armed with a whip, vibrator and a "strap-on penis shaped" sex toy.
The best man gave evidence at the trial of being pressured by his peers into sitting on the seat where Ms Naggs performed her routine.
Witnesses described how at one point the best man "sort of screamed" and winced.
The best man reported the alleged anal rape to police the next day.
Ms Naggs appeared relieved as the verdict was delivered and later wept as Judge Tim Wood formally discharged her.
Outside court, her lawyer James Dowsley said his client wished to thank the jury for the attention they gave to the case and their verdict.
Ms Naggs smiled but refused to answer reporters' questions as she left the court area.
The complainant was not in court."
