SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (IUEDS) –We have an update on a criminal case that made headlines back in January.
A former South Dakota attorney is no longer charged with rape.
According to court documents, a prosecutor dismissed the rape charge against 47-year-old Joseph Smyrak, but he’s still charged with assault in that case.
Smyrak also faces new accusations. An assault case was filed earlier this month, along with an application for a new protection order.
When we checked Smyrak’s background we found records of at least six women filing protection orders against him since 2012.
