State Won’t Retry Lincoln Man in Sex Assault Case

Mohammed-Nadeem(AP) — Prosecutors won’t retry a Lincoln man who was granted a new trial on a charge of attempted sexual assault of a teenager.

Prosecutors have dropped the charges that were filed against Mohammed Nadeem after an August 2009 arrest.

The Nebraska Court of Appeals last year vacated Nadeem’s two convictions and said the jury should have been allowed to consider whether Nadeem was entrapped by police.

Nadeem was 22 when he was arrested. Police said he met a 14-year-old girl at a public library in Lincoln and gave her his phone number. Prosecutors say that and his other behavior at the library were substantial steps toward committing sexual assault.
