Husband Held in Attack on Wife Is Released

A West Hills man arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting his estranged, wheelchair-bound and legally blind wife--and restraining and gagging her seeing-eye dog--was released from custody Tuesday, but authorities said the matter remained under investigation.

“We are definitely continuing to look into this,” said Los Angeles Police Detective Nancy Severns, who interviewed the alleged victim.

After the interview, prosecutors decided that police did not have enough evidence to charge horseback riding instructor Terry Foladare, 41, with a crime. Foladare had been held at the West Valley jail in lieu of $300,000 bail.
