A Woodbury County jury has returned a verdict of not guilty to a Sioux City man charged with second degree sexual abuse of a minor.
The jury returned the verdict in the case of 45 year old James Beyne, who was arrested in October of 2016 and accused of the abuse of a minor from 2011 to 2012 in Sioux City.
The jury deliberated for 2 hours before returning the not-guilty verdict.
Beyne’s attorney released a statement from him saying he was elated about the outcome of the case and this proved his innocence.
