A high-flying real estate agent has been acquitted of sexually assaulting multiple women at open homes.

Omar Lababidi was initially accused of 26 offenses, such as rape and sexual assault, stemming from complaints made by three women between 2021 and 2023.

However, after nearly 13 hours of careful consideration, the jury acquitted him of all allegations on Friday.

Throughout the trial, the prosecution argued that Lababidi had cornered three women against walls during his duties at nine separate inspections in south-west Sydney.

One woman testified that she was coerced into performing oral sex on Lababidi at three different open house events.

It was also claimed that he exposed himself to her without receiving her consent.

The prosecution suggested these incidents demonstrated a recurring behavior of acting on sexual impulses while on the job.

While the 29-year-old did not deny he was attracted to the women and had flirted with them, he did not believe a criminal act had taken place.

His barrister Simon Buchen SC had argued his client had a reasonable belief all three women were consenting to the intimate behaviour and said the jury was not adjudicating in a “court of morals”.

The lawyer also urged jurors to consider whether some of the acts could have occurred if there was no consent.

“There is a difference between regretting something after the event and not consenting to something during the event,” he told the jury during the trial.
