Summary of Case:

"Kyle Cromer was wrongly convicted of third-degree sexual abuse after meeting a woman and after a night of drinking going to a motel with her, and having sex.

She was coached by police during a tape recorded telephone call to Cromer in an effort to obtain a confession from Cromer.
