Prosecutor Seeks To Dismiss Charges

{Elizabethtown, Kentucky}...Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Heather Paynter in Hardin County is seeking to have sex abuse charges against former Central Hardin High School teacher, 29 year old Steven Gray, dismissed without prejudice, meaning the charges could be reinstated if new evidence comes to light. Gray was charged with two counts of sex abuse in December 2010 after anonymous allegations were made. Gray denied the accusations. When the case went to trial last month, a jury failed to reach a unanimous decision and a mistrial was declared. Judge Kelly Mark Easton is considering the motion.
