Off-campus sexual assault at a fraternity ends with all charges dropped
Last spring on the morning of April 14, a sexual assault was reported at 27 Preble St. , the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity house in Gorham, Gorham Police said.
Over the summer the district attorney’s office concluded there was not enough evidence to try the individual, Lt. Ted Blais of the Gorham Police Department said.
“The way it stands is the DA’s office will not pursue the case.”
Lt. Blais said the district attorney reviews a crime report to determine what the chances are for a successful prosecution.
Lt. Blais said the name of the individual could not be released since there will be no trial.
“It’s not saying that what happened wasn’t a crime,” he said. “It’s that the evidence didn’t support the crime.”
