A Sydney agent acquitted on 26 charges, including rape, after jury found no lack of consent despite claims of predatory behavior during viewings.

A Sydney real estate agent, Omar Lababidi, 29, has been acquitted of 26 charges including rape and sexual assault related to alleged incidents during property viewings between 2021 and 2023, following claims by three women. Prosecutors said he pinned women against walls, exposed himself, and forced one to perform oral sex, alleging a pattern of predatory behavior. Lababidi admitted to being attracted to the women and engaging in flirtatious conduct but maintained all interactions were consensual. His defense emphasized the legal distinction between regret and lack of consent, urging the jury not to judge moral conduct. After nearly 13 hours of deliberation, the jury found him not guilty on all counts.
