A former Mobile Police Department officer accused of rape has had the charge dismissed against him by the Mobile County District Attorney.

According to Fox10 News, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said the case against Jonathan Leach was dismissed due to new evidence.

“Our only option was to nolle prosequi the case after getting some new evidence and speaking with the alleged victim,” the spokesperson told Fox10.

According to court documents from Sept. 2024, a grand jury indicted Leach for allegedly sexually assaulting a person who was incapacitated and incapable of consent.

Leach was fired by the Mobile Police Department in June 2024 in an unrelated incident, according to the department.
