Case of woman related to alleged sex abuse dismissed
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho granted yesterday the request of the Office of the Attorney General and the defense to drop the case against a woman who is related to a minor who was allegedly sexually abused.
The OAG may re-file the case against Francisca Osilek in the future. Saipan Tribune opted not to disclose Osilek’s relationship with the girl.
With the case now dismissed, the court can no longer monitor the conditions that both parties had required of Osilek.
Assistant attorney general Frances T. Demapan and defense counsel Michael White have agreed not to re-file the case so long as two conditions are met.
The first condition is that Osilek shall not mention, discuss, or refer to the ongoing criminal cases to the victim or to any defendants in the case.
The other condition is that Osilek shall complete a parenting class at the Division of Youth Services comppsed on six two-hour sessions.
In the government’s motion to dismiss, Demapan said the Commonwealth believes that a dismissal without prejudice is warranted.
Camacho vacated Osilek’s jury trial, set for Sept. 4, 2018.
The OAG charged Osilek for asking the 15-year-old girl to drop the charges against 35-year-old Jeffry Manarang Fernandez, who allegedly sexually abused the girl.
Last Friday, Camacho also dismissed without prejudice the case against Rose Fernandez, who is the mother of Jeffry Fernandez.
The case against Jeffry Fernandez is still pending in court.
