Robicheaux and Riley have both pleaded not guilty and have repeatedly denied having nonconsensual sex with their accusers. The review team agreed unanimously that there was “insufficient evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt,” he said. Just after charges were filed against the couple in 2018, Rackauckas and Spitzer held dueling news conferences outside the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach. Robicheaux was charged with 17 felonies, including five rape charges, while Riley was charged with 13 felonies. He invited any of the women who lodged allegations against the couple to meet with him to discuss his decision.
