The child sexual assault charges against former Yankees closer John Wetteland have been dismissed more than six months after a mistrial in his case. Wetteland was originally arrested in January 2019 and indicted on three counts the following March. Wetteland pleaded not guilty in a Texas court and a 10-2 split decision among the jury led to a mistrial in August. Prosecutors in Denton County filed a motion to dismiss all three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child against the 56-year-old hurler.
