An Eau Claire County jury has found an Osseo man not guilty of sexual assault charges.  A teenager contacted police last year, telling them Joshua Erickson started sexually assaulting her five years ago when she was 11.  She says she kept quiet because Erickson had threatened to tell her mother she was “doing something bad.”  She claimed she was assaulted repeatedly for a year, but jury members sided with Erickson.  Until he was found not guilty, he had faced up to 60 years in prison.
