NO CHARGES.

July 31, 2008 - Prosecutors declined to file charges Tuesday against a Granada Middle School band director due to insufficient evidence.

A 20-year-old woman made comments about the alleged rape on her MySpace page. Her sister saw it and convinced her to report it. Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott said the alleged assault happened in 2002 in the band room when the woman was 14.

Despite the DA's decision, detectives don't doubt the woman.

"We have absolutely no reason not to believe her," Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott said.

"When the DA rejects a case, they do not feel they have enough evidence (to) win the case beyond a reasonable doubt," he said. "That's all it means."
