Magistrate Cleared Of Sex Charges
KENTUCKY...
A western Kentucky magistrate has been cleared of rape and other sex-related charges.
A Hopkins Circuit Court jury Thursday took about one hour to find county Magistrate Wesley Lynn not guilty on all four sex-related charges against him. The Messenger of Madisonville reported Lynn had been indicted in 2009 on charges of rape, sodomy, and two counts of sexual abuse after two women accused him of assaulting them while they were under his care when he was a paramedic at a local hospital. Lynn had been a paramedic at Regional Medical Center in Madisonville but is no longer employed there.
Lynn took the stand in his own defense Wednesday and denied all the accusations. Jurors also took a tour of the areas of Regional Medical Center where the assaults were alleged to have occurred.
