A Houston County jury acquitted an Ohio man Tuesday of sexually abusing a 7-year-old boy.
Gregory Hermans, 30, of Chester, Ohio, was arrested July 22, 2008, about five days after the alleged offense happened.
Assistant Distrist Attorney David Holmes said the boy testified during the trial of how he reported the sexual assault to his teacher and school principal. Holmes said the jury deliberated about four hours before returning with the not guilty.
Attorney David Hogg said his client Hermans was acquitted even though there was testimony his client was already convicted of attempted rape and of failure to register as a sex offender.
Hogg said argued that neither the child’s mother of the child’s school principal believed the child was molested by the defendant.
