A 25-year-old student has been cleared of illegally possessing credit card information, after the case against her was dropped by the prosecution.
Tonbra Deborah Dauyoumor said afterwards that she should never have been accused in the first place - but was "thankful and relieved" her good name had been restored, after months of waiting.
Miss Dauyoumor, of Wilberforce Road, near Narborough Road, Leicester, denied from the outset ever possessing criminal property by allegedly having data-protected information, knowing it would constitute the benefit of criminal conduct, between October 2005 and September 2006.
On the day she was due to stand trial at Leicester Crown Court the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the proceedings.
The prosecutor offered no evidence against her and she left court fully vindicated of the allegation.
Judge Christopher Metcalf formally entered a not guilty verdict.
Ms Dauyoumor said: "I am so glad it's all over.
"It was a mix-up involving a computer in a student house and it had absolutely nothing to do with me.
"It's not fair what happened. It was awful.
"It's been extremely upsetting, being wrongly accused of this crime.
"I'm a student doing my Masters degree in Leicester and I am working very hard.
"It has been a stressful and worrying time, but I am now thankful and relieved I can move on with my life.
"I hope that anyone who thought badly of me before can now think again in the knowledge my name has been cleared."
