Comment on Colorado prosecutors drop sexual assault charges against New Mexico filmmaker

FARMINGTON, N.M. — Sexual assault and false imprisonment charges against a New Mexico filmmaker have been dropped. The Daily Times of Farmington, N.M., reports Colorado prosecutors decided not to pursue a sexual assault charge against Kody Dayish because authorities didn’t think they’d get a conviction. And a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment also was dismissed during a July 10 hearing. But Dayish was sentenced on a class one misdemeanor count of telephone obstruction during the hearing in front of La Plata County Judge Dondi Osborne in Durango.
