A woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by a prominent Casper businessman, who twice had his case heard by Wyoming juries, has filed a federal lawsuit detailing similar allegations.
Tony Cercy was acquitted of first- and second-degree sexual assault following a February 2018 jury trial. A mistrial was declared on a third count of third-degree sexual assault.
The next year, a jury issued a guilty verdict on third-degree sexual assault but following an appeal, the Wyoming Supreme Court threw out the verdict.
However, Assistant Natrona County District Attorney Mike Blonigen declined to refile the case saying the Supreme Court s ruling would restrict what the prosecution could do in terms of alleging contact during the alleged assault, making a conviction nearly impossible.
