(AMES, Iowa/KCCI) — One of the three Iowa State University students involved in a harassment case has been cleared. Tyler Ekstrom was charged with assault and extortion.

Police say he and two other Farmhouse Fraternity members tried to force another member to perform a sex act and threatened to shoot that person with an airsoft gun if he didn’t do it. On Friday, a judge granted a motion to dismiss the charges against Ekstrom. Another member, Grant Kuehnast, was sentenced earlier in the week to two years probation and an $855 fine.
