alt Hacker NewsNo, that charge was dropped. IIRC, it was on shaky ground and they were just trying to throw the book at him.

It had a lot to do with the fact that they already had him for more than long enough on other charges, such that it would have been a waste of time.
The charge was dropped, but the court did hold a hearing on it when deciding on sentencing. They heard the evidence for and against and ruled by a preponderance of the evidence that he did in fact do it.
