GREELEY, Colo. (AP) -- A judge has dismissed a sex assault charge against a soldier from Milliken, saying police had not established enough probable cause to take the matter to trial.
Weld District Court Judge Gilbert Gutierriez dismissed a first-degree sexual assault charge against 25-year-old Gilbert Torres last week.
Torres was arrested in July, shortly before his scheduled airborne assignment at Fort Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. Torres said Monday that the charge against him prevented him from leaving the state and he is no longer getting orders to go to Fort Richardson.
He is stationed in Fort Carson as an engineer.
