On June 24 Magistrate Court Judge Warren Walton dismissed the case against Josh Duran (26) after the victim failed to show up for court to testify in the case for the third time.
The original court date had been set for May 27, 2014 but was rescheduled to June 4, and then again on June 24.
Duran was charged with criminal sexual penetration of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, both fourth degree felonies. The charges were brought against Duran after a March 11 incident where he and a 17 year old female Raton student had a sexual encounter according to a State Police report.
