No prosecution for couple

Posted on June 22, 2022

The State Attorney’s Office (SAO) has declined to pursue charges against a couple arrested in May following allegations the man grabbed a teen at Keaton Beach and offered to “buy” the children she was babysitting, while his wife allegedly witnessed the behavior and did nothing.

The state cited a lack of corroborating evidence to substantiate the claims and possible “cultural misunderstandings” as contributing factors in declining to prosecute Michael Angelo Malewicz, 77, and his wife, Mazenna Alicja Wisniewska, 58. (The couple live in Dunedin, but have dual citizenship in Poland.)
