Former Raleigh councilman won't face criminal charges in alleged sex assault

Martin, who represented District D on the council, stepped down after four current or former North Carolina State University students accused him of sexual assault. Martin worked as a teaching assistant at the university before he was elected last fall.

"Since he held a position that was so public, I think it’s important that the public have some idea and ultimately know that this is something that is viable to move forward or not, or whether he could be exonerated," she said last month.

Freeman said Monday that Martin's accusers "have not provided sufficient information to proceed."

"We understand that that is difficult and a very personal decision that, at the end of the day, we will respect," she said.

"I feel that I’ve done my part in exposing him for the vile human being that he is," Cuevas said in a statement.

Martin declined to comment on Freeman's decision.
