Peoria and the state are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a Peoria couple who say they were falsely accused of sexually exploiting their young daughters.

Lisa and Anthony “A.J.” Demaree lost physical custody of their three daughters for a month last fall after a Walmart photo clerk found a handful of naked bath- and playtime shots of the girls among a group of photos dropped off for developing.
