Rape and assault charges against a Wenham man for an incident at a Danvers business this spring have been dismissed in court.
The Salem News reports that prosecutors in the case against John Acciavatti, 53, of Wenham, asked to have the charges dropped Monday after several unsuccessful attempts to hold a hearing on the case.
The victim, a 32-year-old man, claimed he was sexually assaulted by Acciavatti in May when Acciavatti was supposed to be giving him a massage instead after a gym workout.
