The Travis County District Attorney’s Office has dismissed charges against a man who has already spent more than 20 years in prison.
This came after the woman who claimed he sexually abused her as a child said it never happened.
Timeline:
In 2002, Marshall Moreno was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child by contact, and indecency with a child by exposure, after his biological daughter made an outcry to her therapist about being sexually abused.
She was 12 when Moreno went to trial, took the stand and stated Moreno had sexually abused her. In 2003, Moreno was convicted and sentenced to 36 years in prison.
During the trial, the Travis County DA's office says a therapist and a medical doctor testified about the outcry she made when she was ten, two years after the alleged offenses.
The state says there were no forensics and no other eyewitnesses or factual witnesses to provide the trial court with facts to support guilt, except for the child's testimony at trial.
