A sexual assault charge against a 23-year-old man stemming from the alleged groping of a teenage girl at the Lake St. Clair Metropark has been dismissed.

Macomb County Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Esther Wolfe said the 15-year-old girl who Abdulnasar Muthana allegedly groped did not show up to court to testify and the case was dismissed.

Muthana was charged with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, which was dismissed Sept. 25 by 41B District Court Judge Sebastian Lucido.

Lucido dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the charge can be reissued if the victim decides she wishes to testify against Muthana.
