BELLEFONTE, Pa. (WJAC) — A dentist from Bellefonte who was acquitted of rape and kidnapping charges in July was named in a civil lawsuit by his alleged victim, according to Centre County court officials.
Wade Newman, former owner of Bellefonte Family Dentistry, was charged in March 2017 when the woman said Newman drove her home after a procedure then forced himself on her.
The attack is alleged to have happened in October 2016, according to the Center County District Attorney's Office.
Newman was originally charged with rape of an unconscious victim, felony criminal attempt, kidnapping to facilitate a felony and felony sexual assault, according to court documents. A jury found him not guilty on all charges.
Details of the lawsuit that were filed with the court last week have not been made public.
