MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A teenager who accused a billionaire heir to the SC Johnson fortune of sexually abusing her for years can’t testify at his trial unless she agrees to release her medical records, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, reversing a decision it issued last year.

The high court issued a muddled ruling last summer saying the girl could testify against 58-year-old Samuel Curtis Johnson, the son of the late SC Johnson chairman Sam Johnson. On Wednesday the court issued an order clarifying that the ruling amounted to a deadlock.
