It had been alleged that Stenson sexually assaulted the girl whilst she slept in 2018 or 2019.
A report was later made to the police after she spoke with a member of her school’s pastoral care team, Ms Randall said.
Stenson was unanimously found not guilty of both offences by the jury.
“Mr Stenson, you are now formally acquitted of both counts and you are now free to leave the dock,” the judge, Recorder Christian Jowett, said following the verdict.
Recorder Jowett thanked the jury for the consideration they had given the case, as well as both prosecution and defence counsel.
