Police have withdrawn a charge of indecent assault against Wairarapa man Cory Douglas Leach, 25.
Leach was accused of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl in her tent at Castlepoint on December 31 last year.
However, a trial scheduled for November 11 was adjourned after police found inconsistencies in witness statements -- and discussions were held between police and the man's lawyer, Ian Hard.
On Thursday, police prosecutor Sergeant Jodie Lawrence said the case "fell below the evidential threshold required", and police would "seek leave to withdraw the charge".
Judge Bill Hastings withdrew the charge with consent from MrHard.
