TULSA, Okla. -

A judge has dismissed criminal charges against Dquan Doyle, a former employee of the Tulsa County Juvenile Justice Center, who was facing accusations of sexual battery and indecent exposure.

According to court records, a federal judge dismissed the case on Monday after the main witness for the prosecution didn’t cooperate or attend court. Doyle was named in a federal lawsuit filed by 20 individuals who accused the detention staff of the Juvenile Justice Center of sexual assault, child abuse, harassment, and other offenses.

The Tulsa County District Attorney's Office sent the following statement:

“The victim’s rights in cases is our top priority – including their right to not cooperate. The victim in this case chose not to cooperate. Without their testimony and cooperation we could not proceed forward at this time.”
