American pilot cleared of kidnapping girl, 9, outside Harrods

An American pilot has been found not guilty of of kidnapping a nine-year-old girl outside Harrods in central London and sexually assaulting her.

Robert Prussak approached the girl after she became separated from her family during a trip from France on 22 April last year.

Mr Prussak then walked her to his flat, and was accused of giving her bitter-tasting water allegedly containing the antihistamine Benadryl, which left her tired, the court heard.

The 57-year-old, of no fixed address, was cleared of the offences at Isleworth Crown Court on Tuesday.
