MANCHESTER, N.H- A Hillsborough County Superior Court judge has denied a request from Bradley Asbury, the former Youth Development Center worker found guilty of being an accomplice to sexual assault.

According to court documents, Asbury made the request after he said new evidence had been discovered after he was sentenced to prison, but Judge William Delker ended up denying the request this past May after considering the record, arguments and applicable law.

Asbury is currently severing at least 20 years after being found guilty this past November on charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault, for holding down 14-year-old Michael Gilpatrick in a staircase in 1998, while councilors Stephen Murphy and Jeffrey Buskey reportedly raped the child.
