The case against a 32-year-old Lawrence man who was accused of molesting his girlfriend’s young daughters was dismissed Thursday, according to court records.

The man was charged in October 2014 with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of rape.

The charges came after the girlfriend’s two daughters allegedly told a Department of Children and Families social worker in May 2014 that they watched pornography with the man, according to the arrest affidavit in his case. The girls later allegedly told officers in a resulting police investigation that the man had inappropriately touched them.

But after further investigations on the case over the past 10 months, Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County district attorney, said that investigators were “unable to establish sufficient corroborating evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.” So, prosecutors moved to dismiss all of the man’s counts.

“Without such additional evidence, it was decided it was in the best interest of the children to save them from having to testify in a trial,” Wright Kunard said.

But the fallout over the court case did not evaporate along with the court case. The man’s attorney, Michael Warner, said the man, who has two children, no criminal history and is an Iraq war veteran, lost his job over the allegations. He also lost the $6,000 given to his jail bondsman to post his $60,000 bond in October.

“This was hard for (the 32-year-old man),” Warner said. “His life was turned upside down for 15 months (since the investigations began.) I’m glad the state realized they didn’t have a case here.”

Warner said that after the judge granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the charges, his client wept with relief.

“There was no physical evidence, just allegations,” Warner said.
