Jefferson County prosecutors have dismissed charges of sexual assault on children against a Lakewood minister after they concluded they didn't have enough evidence to proceed with a trial.

Prosecutors dropped the charges Thursday, Pam Russell, a Jefferson County district attorney spokeswoman, said Monday.

Stephen Heese, 40, had been facing two counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and two other counts of sexual assault on a child while showing a pattern of abuse.

The alleged victims, a 16-year-old girl and her 19-year-old brother, told Lakewood police last year that they were assaulted by Heese from 1991 to 1994.
