No new trial for Mayorga

Translated by Ramon Rodriguez

According to reports from Central America, it looks like Ricardo Mayorga is clear of rape charges that have dogged him since last year.  The Nicaragua Supreme Court has cancelled a second trial that was scheduled to take place on Wednesday for Mayorga, who was accused of raping a young woman. Five of the six Supreme Court justices voted to grant Mayorga’s petition to halt the re-trial. Mayorga, 32, was accused last September of raping a 22-year old woman, though he was declared innocent of all charges in the initial trial. Earlier this year, the Managua Court of Appeals ordered a re-trial, but the Supreme Court ruling reversed that order. He recently defeated Michelle Picirillo to capture a vacant world title at  154 pounds. souce: boxeopanama
