Dallas Theatre Center actor not indicted in molestation case

A Dallas Co. grand jury Friday declined to indict the Dallas Theatre Center actor who was accused of molesting a young relative last year.

Hassan Shareef El-Amin, 53, had performed in a Christmas play starring several child actors while the case was pending.

That attracted some concern, understandably so.

He had been arrested by DeSoto police last November on one charge of indecency with a child.

But he claimed all along that the charge was made as part of a nasty divorce proceeding.

We all know how nasty those can get.

The Dallas Theatre Center had stood by him despite the accusations and allowed him to keep working because they said he was “an outstanding professional actor” and should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Let’s hope he is, for everybody’s sake in the community!
