Charges of indecent exposure have been dismissed in a case involving 49-year-old Troy Zimmerman, a Nikiski Middle/High School teacher, after the man reached a civil compromise outside of court with his alleged victim.
A settlement of this nature under Alaska Civil Rule 43 (c) is not an admission of guilt. The charges were dismissed “In Furtherance of Justice” as provided by civil rule 43 (c). Dismissal of charges is considered a finding of “not guilty” to the charges.
The alleged victim told KSRM she “didn’t want to ruin Zimmerman’s life due to one bad decision,” and that she agreed Zimmerman could attend professional counseling until released by a physician, rather than proceed through the court process.
