BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland prosecutors are dropping an indecent exposure charge against a man who was held for months in Aruba in the presumed death of his traveling companion.

Gary Giordano was arrested in May after Annapolis police responded to a report of “possible sexual activity” and said they found him naked with a woman in the back of a parked sport utility vehicle. Prosecutors said Friday they would drop an indecent exposure charge against him because they couldn’t prove that he intended to expose himself, as the law requires for a conviction. The case was set to go to trial next week, though Giordano’s lawyer had asked for it to be dismissed.
