And according to court records John Lewis was never convicted of the crime. But he only lived a few more years, so I guess there is some justice. Also we always visualize "little Omie" as being young and led astray by an older John Lewis when it may be, some question here, that she was older with one or two out of wedlock children already and Lewis was possibly in his teens at the time. This might explain the difficulty in getting a conviction.
