The woman accusing Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault is not planning on pursuing charges, a source close to her legal team told Fox News.
Dr. Vanessa C. Tyson, a professor at Scripps College in California, released a statement earlier this week outlining in graphic detail the alleged encounter, which she says happened in July 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
Tyson accused Fairfax of forcing her to perform oral sex. Fairfax has adamantly denied the allegations.
The statute of limitations for such an alleged crime in Massachusetts would expire later this year. But a source close to Tysons legal team told Fox News that the professor is not pursuing charges against Fairfax, and indicated that she wanted to make her statement about what happened and get back to her life.

(82,849 posts)Right now we have two stories from two different people. There are some points of agreement, some points of divergence. There doesn't seem to be any additional information or evidence that could persuade a jury to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Here's hoping both parties can now get back to their respective lives.
