A charge of rape against a Weston man has been dismissed.
Wood County Common Pleas Judge Molly Mack on Friday granted the state’s motion to dismiss without prejudice charges against Sid Serrato, 31.
To dismiss a case without prejudice is a temporary dismissal and allows the state to refile the charges.
Serrato had been indicted in October for rape, a first-degree felony.
On May 4, he allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with someone whose ability to resist or consent was substantially impaired because of a mental or physical condition or because of advanced age.
Serrato’s trial was scheduled to start Wednesday.
