Triple killer Sica cleared of sex charges Brisbane triple murderer Max Sica has been acquitted of charges relating to having sex with a child. Sica had been on trial over allegations he had sex with a young girl about 100 times after beginning a relationship with her when she was just nine. The 42-year-old had pleaded not guilty to 21 charges including maintaining a sexual relationship with a child, rape, carnal knowledge and indecent dealing between November 2004 and September 2008. He was facing a judge-only trial in the Supreme Court in Brisbane. He is serving 35 years in jail after being convicted last year of the murders of his ex-girlfriend Neelma Singh, 24, and her siblings Kunal Singh, 18, and Sidhi Singh, 12, in 2003. There were gasps from the public gallery as the verdict was read out. Sica smiled and waved at supporters in the gallery and his wife Shiva hugged a relative. Judge Michael Shanahan's reasons will be made available shortly. Outside, Sica's brother Claudio said the matter should never have gone to trial. He accused police of trying to smear Sica's name and prejudice the jury in his murder trial. "This again shows that the Queensland police are corrupt and that they'll do anything to taint someone's reputation before a trial," he told reporters. There is no other verdict that could have been given in this case. In his published reasons, Judge Shanahan said the child's testimony that she had sex with Sica repeatedly from age nine was not borne out by medical evidence. Medical evidence given in the trial showed the girl's hymen had been relatively undamaged after the acts with Sica had allegedly occurred. The judge said in the absence of scientific studies involving a history of repeated penetration, he had no choice but to accept the evidence of a witness physician. The physician had said it was highly unlikely and improbable the girl's hymen would have remained undamaged with a history of repeated penetration. "The complainant's account of numerous acts of penetration having occurred since she was nine ... is not only not supported by the medical evidence, it makes her account highly unlikely," Judge Shanahan wrote. As this is fundamental to the prosecution case and has a significant impact on the complainant's credibility, I am left with what, to my mind, is a reasonable doubt about the guilt of the accused.
