Andy Dick will not be charged for sexual battery

As often happens in cases of sexual battery, an uncompliant victim is keeping the case out of the courts.

Andy Dick will no longer faces charges for sexual battery after his male accuser refused to cooperate with the investigation, the authorities said.

The 56-year-old actor was accused of a felony of sexual assault at a trailer park in Irvine California on May 11 when police in Orange County, California arrested him.

 The Orange County District Attorney’s office found there was not ‘sufficient evidence,’ to charge the actor and sent the case back to the sheriff for ‘further investigation.’  

 Orange County Sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Steinle told DailyMail.com on Thursday ‘after re-interviewing the alleged victim, OC Sheriff’s Department decided to drop the case .’ 

 ‘The victim did not want to participate in our investigation,’ Steinle said. ‘Since the victim does not want to co-operate any more, the investigation will go no further.’

Steinle said if the victim decides in the future that he does want to participate then the case could be re-opened.
