Charges against a former Mitchell Baseball Association board member, Jeremy Borgan, were dismissed on Wednesday in a case related to alleged rape involving Legion Baseball players.
The judge agreed to dismiss the misdemeanor charge of Failure to Report Abuse or Neglect of a Child against Borgan.
The charges stemmed from an incident in June 2023 in Pennington County, where six players were charged with rape.
During the trial, a witness testified about incidents of hazing and alleged sexual abuse involving Mitchell baseball players. The witness recounted an alleged hazing incident in Wyoming in 2022 and an incident in Rapid City in June 2023, where players allegedly penetrated another player’s anus with their fingers as part of an initiation ritual.
The team’s coach, Luke Norden, still faces two counts of Failure to Report Abuse or Neglect of a Child.
