What were the key factors contributing to the acquittal of E.E. in the sexual abuse case despite initial conviction and serious allegations?

A 25-year-old woman, N.E., accused her father, E.E., of sexually abusing her for 3-4 years. E.E. was initially convicted of simple sexual assault and sentenced to 13 years in prison but later acquitted due to insufficient evidence after N.E. changed her statement. A new lawsuit was filed for child sexual abuse, but E.E. was again acquitted.
