The man, pleaded not-guilty to sexually touching another person without consent in Dubbo Local Court last Thursday.

The victim broke down as she told the court her colleague allegedly followed her out when she went to have a cigarette, and asked her if she had any tattoos and if he could see them.

The victim said she showed him two tattoos, before showing him a photo of another.

"He wanted ideas for a sleeve he was finishing off," the victim told the court.

The victim alleged the man began whispering her name in her ear before he put his hands down her pants and touched her underwear.

She alleged the man grabbed her by the arm as she went to leave, but pushed him away two to three times before he stumbled backwards.

"I remember telling him it was inappropriate. He had his hands on my hips," she told the court.

The court heard the victim "ran into the office" and sat there when the man allegedly walked in and touched her on the shoulder before saying "sorry darling".

"I stayed in the office, I was scared, I was crying," the victim told the court.

The victim said she told another staff member "very briefly" what happened, before going home and sitting on the end of the bed, rocking, while she told her partner what had happened.

The court heard from a number of witnesses called by the prosecution, including the victim, her partner, the colleague the victim told after the incident and senior constable Trevor Fielding, who was the officer in charge on the day the incident was reported.

The 38-year-old man strenuously denied the allegations and gave police a "completely different version of events".

The man told police the victim had instigated things by touching him on the knee, and became quite indigent about it as he was a married man and tried to avoid contact with her.

Defence solicitor Jai Silkman told the court the man had made a complaint about the woman, before she made the sexual touching allegation against him.

Mr Silkman told the court it was a "one-on-one matter", the victim was unable to give specific detail and argued the complaint could be a "revenge complaint that got out of hand".

"There's no independent evidence of what happened some people are good at lying," he said.

However police prosecutor Sergeant Michelle Bartlett said the victim's evidence was honest, forthright and reliable.

"She did not embellish any of her evidence," she said.

"She remained unshaken under cross examination regarding the events that unfolded, and made concessions where appropriate."

Defence solicitor Jai Silkman called two witnesses, who knew the man and the victim.

Both witnesses who gave evidence said the man was a very respectful, hardworking man and a "true gentleman".

The court head differing versions of events about what took place after the incident with one witness saying she saw the man and his accuser sitting together in the office, while another said they were in different rooms.

One of the employees told the court when she arrived at work she had spoken to the victim to see how the shift had gone, as it was her first time.

"She said she was tired, she wasn't different to any other time," the witness told the court.

"She didn't look like she'd been crying."

Magistrate Gary Wilson said in a statement tended in court from the victim's manager, the victim was offered support after the incident but declined as she had to attend a birthday party.

"There's definitely significant inconsistencies," Magistrate Wilson said.

"Various different observations were made by various witnesses, all of quite a different nature."

Magistrate Wilson said due to the "inconsistencies", the man could not be found beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed the offence.

The man was found not-guilty and the charge was dismissed.
