I guess you have a point, but I have seen sex on the beach tolerated (or encouraged) and I can't imagine the girls did anything "worse." I am referring to heterosexuals but I can't see how it makes a difference.

Since the case was dropped I would assume that part was granted, so that would leave the "without prejudice" part that could have been denied.

Do you know if there is any way to look at the actual text of the full order? I'm pretty sure the order would elaborate on what part was granted and what was denied.

I could not figure out a way to find the full text. I did think that "in part" aspect was weird and cannot think of how you would split of a nolle prosequi on a single charge.

A nolle prosequi cannot be with prejudice. The whole point of a nolle prosequi is to dismiss a case with prejudice by dropping the case. The judge could have either ruled on motion 15 (to quash the subpoena, effectively dismissing with prejudice) or ruled on motion 17 (to dismiss for lack of probable cause, a dismissal can be with prejudice or without prejudice) to dismiss with prejudice.
