The charges against Marta San Jose, 21, who was arrested along with student-sponsor Dale Leary on charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, were dropped because her younger sister didn’t want to return to the United States to testify, the Miami Herald reports.

Florida man Dale Leary, accused of sexual assault against the 14-year-old sister of the foreign exchange student he married, dead in apparent suicide

Middle-aged Florida exchange student host turned husband accused of sexual assault found dead in apparent suicide in his Coral gables. Fla home Wednesday, July 6 Dale Leary […]
Claiming she had already “suffered enough,” the girl’s mother decided not to subject her to taking part in a trial, especially since she believed “these crimes only happened because Dale manipulated Marta into committing them,” according to a prosecutor’s memo obtained by the newspaper.
The development follows Leary’s suicide last year, just days after he was released from jail. He was found inside a car along with his ex-wife, Claudia Leary, who survived. The couple had separated in 2014 when Leary left her to marry San Jose soon after her 18th birthday. Her younger sister, identified as R.S. in court documents, was then allegedly abused during visits with the couple.

San Jose convinced her sister to believe she was molested by her parents and to allow Leary to examine her vagina after she believed her story, according to arrest affidavits.
That led to Leary and San Jose performing other sex acts on the girl and taking lewd photographs of her, prosecutors said.
Marta San Jose had been charged in March with lewd and lascivious behavior for her alleged role in the case with the state offering the now 21-year-old a special program for first time offenders, which she rejected.

San Jose’s attorney, Jorge Viera, said outside of court Thursday that his client was clearly victimized by her late husband.
“My client’s legal nightmare is finally over,” Viera told NBC Miami. “She was manipulated over years, brainwashed over years and abused over years.”
Viera also criticized the student exchange agency that placed San Jose with Leary.
The reprieved woman has not decided whether to stay in Florida or to return to Spain, he said.
San Jose herself had come to America as an exchange student two years before from Spain who hosted San Jose and other teens in a foreign exchange program with his ex-wife, Claudia.
David went on to divorce Claudia and marry San Jose Leary as soon as she turned 18, which was shortly before the alleged attacks.
In July 4, 2017, police found Leary and his ex-wife, Claudia, in a car behind his Cutler Bay home.
The pair were trying to poison themselves with carbon monoxide, police said. Leary died, but Claudia was hospitalized and later recovered.
