LAS VEGAS ( ) — Jermaine Dickerson said mistreatment by correctional officers while in prison for a wrongful rape conviction cost him his tooth. On Saturday, that cost was mitigated by a Las Vegas dental clinic. Dickerson, who grew up in the Bay Area of California, was falsely accused of the rape of a 15-year-old girl at El Cerrito High School in El Cerrito, California. In 1998, he was convicted of the sexual abuse of a child. Investigators at the time did not find DNA evidence linking Dickerson to the crime.
