Judge Lord Woolman said: “By reason of the jury’s verdict you are acquitted and you are free to leave the dock.”
McMahon, who works at Shotts Prison, said thank you.
McMahon said he picked up the 37-year-old at her flat and she directed him to the park.
He claimed they had sex and afterwards noticed the protection used had failed.

She said: “I begged him to stop ‘please get off me’, ‘don’t do this’, over and over and over again.”
Defence laywer John Carroll asked McMahon: “Did you pin her down and force her to undertake sex?”
He replied: “No.”
In a hysterical phone call to police she initially claimed she had been robbed.
While on the phone in his car McMahon was heard saying “I’m not going to hurt you”.
