Islam Ibn Shabazz is charged with sexual assault on a child and sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.Prosecutors in Denver on Friday dismissed charges against a man accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old boy last year.
“The prosecutor felt we could no longer prove the case unanimously to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt,” Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office, said.
Islam Ibn Shabazz was charged in February with two counts in the case — sexual assault on a child and sexual assault on a child by a person of trust, according to the district attorney’s office.
He was accused of assaulting the boy, a family acquaintance, in 2015, authorities said.
