Orange County prosecutors drop case of false imprisonment against a 15-year-old boy.
Teen at press conference
It was announced today after Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings sent a letter to the state attorney’s office.
According to WESH news, the letter stated, there was probable cause for the arrest.
The Sheriff asked that the formal charges be dropped against the teen who is now 15.
The young man, known as Edwin, had been accused of taking a toddler out of the Burlington Coat Factory in west Orange County earlier in June.
The teen said he was only trying to help the three-year-old find her mother.
Good News
All charges have been dropped despite, evidence stating the teen had been involved in three incidents of a sexual nature on school property.
Defense lawyer Natalie Jackson, represents the teen and has always maintained his innocence.
Miss Jackson was interviewed this afternoon by WESH and said the sheriff’s request meant more to Edwin as it arrived on Monday, which was his birthday.
Edwin has said, he wants to get back to normal.
