SALT LAKE CITY -- Testimony about a rape allegation will not be allowed at the murder trial of Timmy Brent Olsen.
Prosecutors wanted to put Olsen's ex-girlfriend on the stand and have her testify that she was sexually assaulted by him one year after the disappearance of 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis.
Olsen is accused of Davis' murder even though a body has never been found.
Defense attorneys argued there is no proof the rape ever took place and, therefore, the testimony is not valid. A judge ruled in their favor.
