Wilson pleaded not guilty to each charge, and was due to stand trial on December 11.
“It seems to be [the complainant’s] word against Lee Wilson’s,” defence counsel David Leathley said during the previous hearing.
“I don’t think there’s any more complexity to that. It’s who the jury believe.”
However, after the complainant withdrew her support for the case, the prosecution presented no evidence, and not guilty verdicts were entered.
Wilson had also been accused of breaching his bail after failing to attend Swansea Crown Court to enter his pleas on June 24.
A warrant had been issued for his arrest, and Wilson attended Preston Crown Court on July 10.
At Swansea Crown Court, prosecutor Alycia Carpanini confirmed that no further action was sought against Wilson for the breach of bail.
