at this point, we

Based upon the available evidence which would be admissible
before a jury, it is my best judgment that we could not prove

this case beyond a reasonable doubt.

This is not to suggest we do not believe the allegations. To the

contrary, the information at hand suggests that Mr.

Hansen has

acted in a sexually inappropriate manner toward Melissa.
However, under the criminal rules and limitations we must abide
by, we can not proceed further at this time.
