A former CEO has been cleared of breaching a temporary restraining order issued by police on behalf of international model and reality TV personality Simone Holtznagel.
Benjamin Reeves was arrested on July 15 as he left Sydney Downing Center Court after telling media he felt “vindicated” because police had dropped stalking charges against him.
He has now been acquitted twice due to similar police allegations.
Police had previously alleged the 59-year-old was obsessed with Ms Holtznagel and stalked her in Sydney’s CBD and eastern suburbs from April to July last year.
Mr Reeves strongly denied the claims and the charges were dropped by the police, who were ordered to pay his legal costs.

The former CEO of the Australian Association of Graduate Employers was arrested shortly after the initial decision and charged with breaching an interim violence order.
Police alleged he breached the interim personal violence order issued to protect Ms Holtznagel by attending Sydney’s Vivid festival on July 14 when she was in the crowd.
History repeated itself on Tuesday when police once again dropped charges against Mr Reeves.
