Charges have been withdrawn against the son of Niagara Falls City Council Kim Craitor.
39 year old Chris Craitor was arrested in May and charged with sexual assault.
The elder Craitor says they were in court today hoping to get a trial date to prove his son's innocence but the Crown opted to withdraw the charges.
Councillor Craitor says the experience has been a nightmare for the family adding his son lost his job after the charges were laid.
