ELLSWORTH — A Hancock County Superior Court jury returned a verdict of not guilty Friday for a Blue Hill man accused of unlawful sexual contact.

The state had charged Jerome B. Millay, 38, with three counts of unlawful sexual contact, all felonies.

Millay had been accused of touching a teenage girl during 2000 and 2001, court records state.

Ellsworth attorney Ferdinand Slater represented Millay.

“This was a marriage coming to an end and the allegations are made because the marriage is ending and not because of anything that happened 10 years ago,” Slater said.
