RICHMOND, VA. (AP) - The effort to clear the name of a man who spent four years in prison for a sexual assault he didn't commit is moving forward.
The Virginia Court of Appeals on Friday agreed to let Johnathan Montgomery's petition for a writ of actual innocence move forward. If it is approved, the crimes would be removed from Montgomery's record and he would no longer have to register as a sex offender.
The 26-year-old Montgomery had served four years of a 7½-year sentence for a sexual assault conviction when his accuser admitted she lied.
Gov. Bob McDonnell granted a conditional pardon in November, freeing him from prison. But the convictions will remain until Montgomery is exonerated by the court.
