A Knox man was found not guilty after a two-day trial in Starke Circuit Court.

Rodney Freet Jr. was charged with child solicitation after an incident reported in January. A six-member jury in Circuit Court Judge Kim Hall’s court took less than an hour to deliberate and found Freet not guilty of the charge.

Five witnesses for the state were called to the stand while two witnesses were called by the defense, including the defendant.
