The family involved in a federal civil case against Jerry North has asked the United States District Court of the Southern District of Ohio’s Western Division to dismiss their case against North without prejudice, according to court records filed Tuesday. At this time, a ruling hasn’t been made on that request.
This came a day after News Center 7 reported that Miami County Prosecutors dismissed the case against Jerry North after the juvenile victim admitted to, in large part, fabricating the allegations against North.
In a statement to News Center 7, North’s attorney said, “From the beginning, these allegations were based on complete lies. Professionals should not be so easily fooled by baseless fabrications like those made in this case. Real people’s lives can be ruined.
