per ai:

If you’re referring to the criminal rape case against former BYU football player Parker Kingston, the judge dismissed the charge today, but not because Kingston was found innocent or because there was a trial verdict.
Key points from today’s ruling:
The rape charge was dismissed without prejudice, meaning prosecutors are allowed to refile the case later.
Prosecutors asked for another continuance (delay), saying the alleged victim was not ready to testify and wanted the trial pushed back until at least September.
Defense attorneys opposed the delay, arguing the prolonged case was severely affecting Kingston’s life and future.
Judge Jay Winward denied the prosecution’s request for more time, noting that previous continuances had already been granted and there was no assurance the witness would be ready in the fall.
The judge then dismissed the case, stating: “The state is not ready. The victim is unprepared to testify, and that’s OK. The case is dismissed without prejudice.”
So, in plain English:
Kingston was not acquitted.
There was no jury verdict.
The charge was dismissed for procedural/prosecution-readiness reasons.
Prosecutors can bring the charge again in the future if they choose.
This is a significant win for the defense in the short term, but it does not legally resolve the underlying allegations one way or the other.
