Dick is accused of first-degree sexual abuse in two separate cases at a Huntington bar last January.

Assistant Cabell County Prosecutor Sean Hammers and Dick's attorney Mark Geragos questioned the first accuser who remains unidentified. He was working at he bar where the alleged incidents occurred.

"He (Dick) walked through the door, walked by me tried to walk into the club," the accuser testified. "I grabbed him and said, 'I need to see your ID.' He didn't have his license. He said it was stolen on the airplane."

Dick was performing at the Funnybone comedy club that weekend.

The accuser said after he put a wrist band on Andy Dick, the accused put his hand on his genitals.

"Turned around, there he is tilting his head smiling at me," the accuser testified. "I jumped back, shocked he actually did it."

During the cross examination, Geragos asked, "Did you kick Mr. Dick out of the club?"

"No," the accuser responded.

Geragos continued, "Did you ask him to leave? Did you do anything at all to make a report in the first 30 minutes after this happened?"

"I was in shock," said. "I couldn't believe he did it."

Hammers questioned the second alleged victim who accused Dick of kissing his neck and touching his genitals. He said he was trying to get a picture of Dick with his girlfriend in the noisy nightclub.

"As he was hollering, talking, he kissed my neck," the second accuser said. "As I turned around, it was shocking. I was trying to walk away, I felt a hand go in my pants."

On cross examination, Geragos identified discrepancies on one report regarding the date of the alleged incidents and whether the alleged victim could verify what was written on the report.
