Sacramento County prosecutors have dropped all charges against a state worker who was nearly acquitted of child molestation charges in January.
Prosecutors had pledged to retry Guillermo Uresti, 36, for allegedly molesting a 4-year-old girl at a birthday party, but dropped the case when they were barred from using videotaped testimony from the alleged victim. Uresti was beaten by other partygoers before police arrived, and said he also was beaten in jail.
