Bemidji Pioneer: Accuser: Grand Forks man slipped teen sleeping pills before sexual assault

The accuser in an eight-year-old sexual assault case against a Grand Forks man told jurors Wednesday, Jan. 10, she believes the defendant sneaked sleeping pills into her drink before he allegedly raped her when she was a young teenager.

The now-adult woman testified in Grand Forks District Court against George Robert Lyons, 37, who is on trial after being charged in June on three Class AA felony counts of gross sexual imposition. He faces life in prison without parole if found guilty.
