Seneca Falls Man Acquitted of Rape, Predatory Sexual Assault

SHARE NOW

A Seneca Falls man has been acquitted of felony charges of rape, unlawful imprisonment, and predatory sexual assault against a child by a Seneca County jury.

The Finger Lakes Times reports Bryndyn Neel was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child and faces a year in jail when sentenced. Neel was accused of having forcible, non-consensual sex with a girl under the age of 17.

The initial trial, in this case, ended in a mistrial due to a legal conflict between Neel and his attorney, and a second trial ended when Neel pleaded guilty after the jury was seated but the 33-year-old later withdrew his plea due to a technical problem and requested a new trial.
