A Lima firefighter facing sexual-related charges will not be heading back to court. Today (8/8/19), the charge against 43-year-old Gilbert Frew was dropped by the State of Ohio. Frew was charged with two counts of gross sexual imposition with the two alleged victims under the age of 13. After going through a jury trial in March, the jury found him not guilty on one count, but could not decide on the other count.

During the first trial, the jury heard testimony from the two victims and Frew himself. Frew's new trial date is currently scheduled for August 13. He remains on paid administrative leave from the Lima Fire Department.
