Three different counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child filed against former MLB closer John Wetteland were dropped as of March 23 following a split-decision jury resulting in a mistrial, according to Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post.
The 56-year-old former relief pitcher was arrested in Jan. 2019 and accused of sexually abusing a child under the age of 14 on three separate occasions between 2004 and 2006.
According to Jamie Landers of The Dallas Morning News, Wetteland was accused of first having the child perform a sexual act on him when the child was four years old.
