Within an hour-and-a-half the jury returned with not guilty verdicts to all of the remaining charges.
During the trial, Crown prosecutor Harry Mallalieu submitted Hikaka forced his way into the Whanganui home of his victim - the pair were known to each other - in November 2019 and rejected her pleas to leave.
Mallalieu claimed Hikaka raped the woman three times during the night, while her young children were present, despite her requests for him to stop.
Hikaka squeezed the woman's throat with his hand so she couldn't breathe at one stage, he said.
Defence lawyer Debbie Goodlet submitted the sex was consensual and told the jury Hikaka denied putting his hands around the woman's throat.
Hikaka was convicted on the charge of breaching a protection order he had pleaded guilty to and Judge Edwards sentenced him to eight months imprisonment.
The sentence was effectively time served as Hikaka had been in custody since his arrest in November 2019 as bail had been declined.
