Charges have been dropped against a 20-year-old Dorchester man accused of raping an 18-year-old woman while aboard the Martha’s Vineyard ferry.

Bruno Sanches DeJesus faced two counts of rape following the alleged sexual asault on Monday, June 7.

Prosecutors have since dropped the charges after speaking with the alleged victim and her family, a spokeswoman for the Cape and Islands District Attorney told The Boston Globe. The charges were dropped via a nolle prosequi, which is a decision not to prosecute.
