OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Omaha-area high school English teacher is unlikely to be prosecuted further over allegations of sexually abusing five young women and a girl after a judge dismissed one of the criminal charges against him.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine told the Omaha World-Herald on Wednesday that the now-dismissed first-degree sexual assault charge against Andrew McGreevy was his office’s best case.

He said prosecutors planned to dismiss the other five charges against McGreevy.

The 41-year-old McGreevy faced criminal charges over allegations dating from 2002 through 2014.

The judge dismissed a first-degree sexual assault charge after concluding prosecutors didn't have enough evidence for a jury to consider.
