Prosecutors in Shelby County announced Tuesday they will not prosecute a 19-year-old man who had been charged with holding a woman against her will and repeatedly sexually assaulting her.
David Owens of Lakewood had been charged with kidnapping and three counts of sexual assault in November. Court records show on Tuesday, the Shelby County State's Attorney's office filed a motion that they will not prosecute those charges.
The decision comes after a follow-up investigation found new evidence that created a reasonable likelihood Owens did not commit the crime, State's Attorney Nichole Kroncke told WEIU.
