Prosecutors Dismiss Child Abuse Charges

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Millcreek woman is free Monday night, just hours after a jury was selected to hear the case against her.

Catherine Cates faced 4 charges of rape of a child, and was arrested back in March.

Prosecutors alleged Cates had sex with a 13-year-old boy, whom she tutored.

Monday afternoon, the Prosecution filed a motion to dismiss all charges. Cates' roommate, who was going to testify for the prosecution, told them she remembered more details, and it hurt their case.

"She said she had been in the house every time they were together, and she didn't walk in on them and she didn't believe they had any kind of sexual encounter," said John Walsh, Cates' attorney.'
