The trial of man accused of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at a Lexington adult club will begin Tuesday.
Police say Melissa Smiley, 37, passed out due to a respiratory illness inside Fillies Gentleman’s Club in July of 2013. The business was closed at the time, but people were working inside. Investigators say instead of calling for help, Clyde Sexton, 71, sexually abused Smiley for about 30 minutes.

Smiley later died.
Police charged Sexton with sexual abuse and evidence tampering. He was not charged for Smiley’s death.
Family members say Smiley could have been treated and saved if she’d received immediate help.
According to court documents, Sexton admitted to fondling Smiley, and part of the incident was captured by a surveillance camera.
Sexton’s trial is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
