The Barren County Commonwealth Attorney's Office has officially cleared minister Steve Wilson of allegedly sexually abusing his two former step-children.

The ruling comes after Wilson spent more than two years behind bars.

Things started to turn in Wilson's favor when the Kentucky Supreme Court overturned his conviction for allegedly molesting David and Heather Lafollette.

"Glad to be free finally," exclaims Wilson.

"When he found out that he was being dismissed, he apparently got out of his car and started jumping up and down," says Wilson's attorney Mark Stanziano.

Its all over for Wilson and his family now, but a sexual abuse conviction almost put him away for 25 years.

However, an overturned verdict by the Kentucky Supreme Court gave his case new life in the Barren County court system.

The Commonwealth Attorney's Office decided not to seek a re-trial in the matter.

"Its just basically that we didn't have the evidence to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, said Assistant Commonwealth Attorney, Traci Peppers.

She says a desire not to "re-victimize" the step-children and recent rape cases in Barren County spurred the decision.

"In the past 3 weeks we had 3 rape trials. 2 with DNA evidence and 1 with a child's word against the father and all three were found "not guilty"," Peppers explains.

However, Stanziano says there was no physical evidence and several of the Commonwealth's witnesses admitted to lying.

They also came forward with damaging information on the complaintents.

"Several witnesses came forward that were in a position to testify that one of the complaintents, when he got done testifying, was actually rolling around in the witness room laughing and shouting out loud, "We got him! We got him!", states Stanziano.

Despite the whole situation, Wilson says he always believed the truth would come out and he would be freed.

"While I was in there (prison), I wrote a book even stating that god would deliver me while I was in prison and he did, I got exactly what he promised," says Wilson with a smile.

Now that he's free, Wilson hopes resume his ministry and start home support groups with inmates and their families.

He would also like to purchase a bus to take people back and forth to area prisons to see their loved ones.
