Man accused of attacking woman at McMurdo weeps as jury say NOT GUILTY

A man accused of assaulting a woman at the U.S. research station in Antarctica pulled out tissues and cried in court after jury members found him not guilty.

A federal jury on Wednesday found Stephen Tyler Bieneman not guilty of assaulting a woman at McMurdo Station in Antarctica in a case that drew attention amid a flurry of sexual harassment and assault reports.

Bieneman pulled tissues from a box on the defense table and cried as each juror was polled and said they found him not guilty of misdemeanor assault in connection with an incident last November at McMurdo Station.
