This blog previously reported on serious and reputation-damaging criminal charges against Rick Clark Briggs, click here. After a couple of anonymous commenters claimed the charges had been dropped, I did some checking and confirmed the charges were, indeed, dropped.

To which this blogger replies:
Given the facts in the criminal complaint, this matter would come down to the credibility of the victim. If the prosecutors feel the video demolishes their case, then they are the ones in the best position to make that call. Indeed, we do not know what happened behind closed doors but we also don't know what DID NOT happen behind closed doors. The legal system has dropped its charges and this man is, was and remains legally innocent.
JNS blog hopes all the parties in this case are able to move on. The facts outlined in the criminal complaint remain an elegant lesson in what can go wrong in life. Hopefully somebody learns SOMETHING from this awful episode.
