TRIVINO UPDATE:

Prosecution drops major charge in Trivino case

Former Boston University men’s hockey forward Corey Trivino is no longer being charged with assault with intent to rape, the most serious of seven charges stemming from a Dec. 11 incident, due to insufficient evidence, officials said.

Brighton District Attorney spokesman Jake Wark said there was no evidence suggesting Trivino intended to use force in efforts to rape the victim.

“We have an ethical obligation not to pursue a charge that we know we can’t prove,” he said. “It’s certainly not a reflection of the victim’s credibility or anything of that nature.”

Trivino, who had been a Metropolitan College senior before his arrest, still faces three counts of indecent assault and battery and two counts of breaking and entering, Wark said. Trivino originally faced three counts of breaking and entering.
