Update: Prosecutors announced today that the charges against Jay Bloesinger, who was originally arrested for allegedly groping a 14-year-old girl, have been dropped “with prejudice.” That means they can not be filed again.

The PD reports on the decision:

“As the case progressed,” prosecutor’s spokeswoman Maria Russo said after the hearing, “additional information and evidence was obtained that caused this office to reconsider the prosecution of the defendant. It was decided at that point to dismiss the case.”

She said the touching had happened “at least 20 times in public places, yet no one saw anything,” defense attorney Dan Margolis said in a telephone interview.

“And the school district’s investigator never reviewed any of the surveillance video from the 137 cameras at the school.”

The 14-year-old girl stands by her accusations. Surveillance tape showed that she was with a friend who delivered the anonymous note to the principal.

  3. It’s pretty sad that this man’s face and name has been pasted all over the media and nightly news when he has merely been accused. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

  4. People stop and think about it she probably had some over due home work or is failing his class and the best thing to do is lie that is all people are doing today. she probably grabbed his buttocks and told him how beautiful he is oh yea cute. probably wasnt in class the time of the alleged offense. now this man has to go through some bs in order to keep his job

  5. Do you have any idea what posting crap like this without even knowing can do to someone?? Furthermore, TAKING AWAY from ACTUAL cases these…Cleveland cops SHOULD be worrying about? Wrecking someones life so you can get a story in? Really?
    Verify your facts first, dumbass reporter!!

  6. what part of ALLEDGLY?? was missed??? Remember being 14?? Remember thinking u werE ugly and not worth a shit?? Wishing someone would tell u different? This is CRAP!!!

  8. Sad excuse for reporting. You clearly need to update the headline – not just a small paragraph with misinformation. I’m sure things would look different if this was your family member involved.

  9. And while you are at it, you could remove the mug shot photo. Again if it was your friend or family would you want it there?
