Maryland prosecutors have dropped charges against two immigrant teens accused of raping and sodomizing a classmate in a high school bathroom.
Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy told a judge Friday that after an investigation, authorities are dropping rape and sex offense counts against 17-year-old Jose Montano, who was charged as an adult.
He and 18-year-old Henry Sanchez-Milian were charged in the alleged assault on the girl at Rockville High School in March.
McCarthy said at a news conference this morning that the same charges against Sanchez-Milian also are being dropped due to lack of evidence.
‘We have concluded that the facts in this case do not support the original charges filed in this matter,’ he told reporters. ‘Due to the lack of corroboration and substantial inconsistencies from the facts that we have obtained from multiple sources since the filing of the original charging document, the original charges cannot be sustained, and prosecution on those charges is untenable.’
