Prosecutors have decided not to pursue a rape allegation
that dates back to 2002 against former Tarpon Springs Police Officer Larry
Kobielnik, who lives in Dunedin. He’s still jailed on two more recent charges.
He,
however, still stands accused of two more recent attacks and remains behind
bars in Pinellas County on $1 million bond as a result.
Kobielnik, 38, of Dunedin, was arrested earlier this year
after a woman said he picked her up in Clearwater, posing as a cop offering her
a ride. The woman told authorities Kobielnik refused to let her go, told her
she was under arrest and then drove her to a home in Dunedin where he is
accused of raping her.
A second woman came forward with similar allegations a few
days later.
