RALEIGH, N.C. — The Wake County District Attorney's Office will not seek charges against a former Apex police officer for sexual assault.
The State Bureau of Investigation accused Jonathon Penny of assaulting a teenager after driving her home from a party last year.
District Attorney Colon Willoughby will not say why he declined to prosecute the case.
The young woman involved in the situation has also filed a civil lawsuit against Penny which is not affected by the criminal case.
