Sex assault case against former student dropped

UW Police officials say Dane County’s district attorney declined to criminally charge a suspect in a campus sexual assault, when the victim balked at the possibility of a trial.

20-year old UW student Kenneth Plaisted was arrested in February on the tentative charge of second degree sexual assault, in connection with what authorities said was an October 2014 assault of a student. Plaisted left school in the wake of his arrest.
