However, the 34-year-old denied the offence and the case was taken to trial.
On Wednesday (October 18), after two hours and one minute, a jury found Mr Holt not guilty of rape.
Wearing a striped jumper and wheeling a suitcase, Mr Holt was free to leave the court.
Any payments he has made towards legal aid will be reimbursed.
