Night clubber John Pearson has been cleared of slapping his ex-lover on a dance floor.
A jury found him not guilty of assault which would have made him in breach of a court restraining order imposed by Southend magistrates last year and forbids Mr Pearson, 22, from The Grove, Southend, having contact with former girlfriend Lisa Khan, 20.
He was given a two-year conditional discharge for harassment.
