Sex charges dropped A former Oakville Thunder Volleyball Club coach says he was wrongly accused of having sex with a 14-year-old girl in what his lawyer calls a bizarre case of mistaken identity. Alan Muliyil, a 47-year-old Brampton man and teacher at Fletcher's Creek Senior Public School in Brampton, was suspended with pay from his school, and also lost his volunteer coaching position. "It makes you feel like somebody took a part of you," Muliyil told The Toronto Star. "I couldn't do the things that make me who I am." During a prostitution investigation in May, York Regional Police charged him with obtaining sexual services, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching. The Crown withdrew the charges on Nov. 15 because it had "no reasonable prospect of conviction," said spokesman Brendan Crawley. Muliyil's lawyer, Todd White, said police were given White. Neither Crawley nor York Region police would detail the reasons for withdrawing the charges. Muliyil has had the support of his girlfriend and mother throughout the ordeal, and said he's confident he'll be warmly welcomed back into the community. Peter Walker, founder of the Oakville volleyball club where Muliyil coached the under-17 girls' team for the past three years, said he's glad Muliyil's name has been cleared. "I was shocked as hell when I heard he was charged," Walker told the Star, noting he never had any problems with Muliyil. "It was a horrendous misunderstanding and he got caught in the middle of it." Walker said he hasn't yet given any thought to whether Muliyil can rejoin the organization. -- with files from The Toronto Star. EVERYTHING MUST GO!

White said he learned this once he was provided full disclosure from the Crown, when he also discovered the description of the alleged criminal was far from matching Muliyil's appearance. The wanted man was described as white, with a beard and grey hair.
