(KLZA)-- WOW television in Omaha reports that James Cherry, who was on trial for one count of first-degree sexual assault and three counts of third-degree sexual assault tied to a reported incident in October 2022 has been found not guilty on all but one charge in Johnson County District Court.
Johnson County District Court Judge Rick Schreiner dismissed one of the third-degree counts after the jury could not come to a decision. Cherry could be retried on that count should the state wish to pursue it.
Cherry was accused by a female co-worker, with a lower rank at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institute of sexual assault.
