After three months since the appeals were filed, on July 30 the Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment in the case against a former Maine State Police Trooper convicted of sexual assault.

Gregory Vrooman, who in 2012 was convicted with four counts each of unlawful sexual contact, unlawful sexual touching and assault, challenged the court's denial of motion to suppress and admission of evidence seized from his computer. The court affirmed the earlier ruling, denying Vrooman.

Vrooman, through his lawyer, challenged the court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence obtained from his home computer on a search warrant and contested the admission of testimony of sexually suggestive websites on his home and work computers.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment, saying the search warrant was valid and that Vrooman's website history was admissible when used in court.

Vrooman was indicted in February 2011 for multiple offenses of unlawful sexual contact, unlawful sexual touching and assault and one count of witness tampering, which was later dropped.

During the 2012 trial in Lincoln County Superior Court, Vrooman was assaulted in the courtroom by William Harrison, who is a relative of the victim. Harrison allegedly struck Vrooman in the face several times.

The judge in that case, Justice Jeffrey Hjelm, said the sentencing could have been tougher if it weren't for the assault

Vrooman was sentenced in June, 2012, to five years with all but 21 months suspended and four years of probation. He will also have to register as a sex offender, as well as undergo treatment and evaluation.
