WATERLOO, IOWA (AP) -- Jurors have found former kosher slaughterhouse manager Sholom Rubashkin not guilty of all 67 child labor violations he faced.
Jurors reached the verdict Monday in the second day of deliberations after a nearly monthlong trial in Waterloo.
Rubashkin had been charged with 67 counts of child labor violations involving 26 teenagers from Guatemala and Mexico who worked at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville in 2007 and 2008.
Rubashkin will be sentenced June 22 in federal court for separate fraud convictions in connection with bank loans his company received.
Agriprocessors was the site of a May 2008 immigration raid in which 389 workers were arrested.
