Court reverses former lawyer's sexual abuse conviction

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals has reversed a conviction of a former lawyer who was sentenced to prison on charges of sexually touching a 10-year-old girl, finding problems with how the case was prosecuted.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the Wednesday decision comes after 50-year-old Bradley Christopher Holbrook was convicted in 2002 and served more than six years in prison.

Holbrook will no longer be required to register as a sex offender. He also will not be considered a convicted felon, so he could reinstate his law license.

Holbrook says he's still processing the decision that he been a fight to reach. Holbrook has been appealing his conviction for 15 years.
