Freispruch für Jörg Kachelmann # 31.05.2011 12 Uhr # Journal English

A celebrity Swiss weather forecaster has been acquitted of rape by a court in Germany. Jörg Kachelmann, once one Germany's most popular TV personalities, was arrested last year on his return from Canada after an ex-girlfriend accused him of raping and assaulting her. The trial was one of the most spectacular media events here in recent years, with the media themselves facing allegations of misconduct.
