Alleged Serial Offender Acquitted in 2017 Sexual Assault Case

Alleged Serial Offender Acquitted in 2017 Sexual Assault Case

A man named Rehan Qureshi, accused of several crimes, was on trial for sexually assaulting a young girl in 2017.

The court decided he was not guilty.

One reason for this decision was that the police didn't do the lineup, where people try to identify the suspect, correctly.

The girl had said a man approached her when she was out buying school supplies and asked her to go with him to get a geyser.

She followed him, and he took her to a building and assaulted her.

The police then investigated, and he was charged.

However, because of the mistake in identifying him, the court found him not guilty in this specific case.
