According to Antonio Gonzalez of the Associated Press, Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval's Sexual Assault Charge was dropped. According to Gonzalez, investigators said there was not enough evidence to prosecute Sandoval.
Gonzalez writes:
A 21-year-old woman who lives in Santa Cruz County filed a sexual assault complaint against the All-Star third baseman June 1. The woman told investigators she met a small group of people in downtown Santa Cruz and went to a resort in nearby Aptos, where she said she was assaulted. Sandoval was contacted at the resort by detectives and cooperated in the investigation.Sandoval's attorney, Eric Geffon, had previously called the encounter a ''consensual, personal relationship of a sexual nature.'' In a statement released Thursday, Geffon said: ''The Sherriff's Department has completed a thorough and professional investigation and we are pleased that they have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support an arrest.
According to a KSBW news report, the 21 year old accuser invited Sandoval to the Seascape resort. KSBW's report also mentions that the accuser went to the hospital, and that she was too intoxicated to consent to sexual behavior.
There are a lot of uncertaincies to this case, however, one thing can be determined for certain -- out of anywhere in Santa Cruz, why on earth would he want to go to Motiv???
