GAINESVILLE, Va. -- Prosecutors have dropped all charges against a Gainesville businessman accused of sexually assaulting three young boys.
Richard Dennis Singer was scheduled to stand trial on 13 felony charges Monday, but prosecutors declared the charges nolle prosequi, meaning they do not wish to prosecute him at this time. The charges can be brought again later.
Singer, who owns Singer and Associates, a Manassas-based firm which sells fire and rescue equipment, was arrested in October.
Police said two 17-year-old boys, who are related to Singer, told them that Singer had assualted them when they were younger.
Later, a third boy came forward and more charges were filed.
