Officials say charges against 23-year-old Nicole Degirolano of sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust, authority or supervision were dropped Sept. 29.

Authorities say Perez-Gonzalez, whose documented age was 17, alleged last month that he was involved in sexual relations with Degirolano.

Police later determined with the help of Guatemalan diplomatic officials that Perez-Gonzalez's birth certificate shows he was born in December 1995, not December 1998, as listed in school and immigration documents.
