[Ninjette Newsbot]

A man who owned a motorcycle dealership in Shaler Township and was accused of raping two employees has been acquitted. Two women who worked for Terry Sanford at his Harley Davidson dealership claimed he threatened to fire them, shoot them and send the Hell's Angels after him if they didn't have sex with him. But Sanford says they were just setting him up to extort money. He and his lawyer say the accusers are strippers, prostitutes and drug addicts. Jurors found Sanford not guilty on 12 counts.

"It was terrifying. I've never been so scared in my life. Even though I was innocent, it's just that you see the shows on TV that show innocent people all the time, going to jail," Sanford said.

Before he was accused of rape, Sanford owned the largest Harley dealership in western Pennsylvania. But after he was charged with rape, he lost it all in a bankruptcy.
