Still waiting...
I never in a million years would have imagined that a registered sex offender would be allowed to walk the streets for almost a year while waiting to go to trial on lewd and lascivious molestation charges...so un-freaking-believable it's ludicrous! Once again the pre-trial was held over until the end of July and the earliest hoped for criminal trial would be the week of August 3. I really don't look for it to happen then either, though. I'm sure his lawyer will come up with something else to hold off. I guess they think that if they keep pushing it back she will forget what he did to her, but there's not a chance of that happening. The assistant state's attorney that was handling the case has been moved to another district and the new one is someone that the pedophile knew from when he was in law inforcement. We may have to investigate for conflict of interest. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

So sorry to hear your agony is being long drawn-out. It is amazing how these lawyers can manipulate things. Surely it is in everyone's interests to get this settled one way or another, but the constant delay is one of their tricks to put people off the scent. I do so feel for you and hope you get a happy ending soon.
Any news yet? I hope you are still not waiting.
Yes, pretrial has been moved to September because his lawyer wasn't ready to go to trial. Of course, that might be to our advantage because the new assistant states attorney isn't familiar at all with our case and this will give him time to familiarize himself with what has happened. It's pretty unbelievable that things have drug on this long. I want it over with so she doesn't have it hanging over her head. She doesn't talk about it a lot any more but you know it must constantly be there in the back of her mind that she has to testify at some time in the future and she has to wonder how things will turn out. Thank you for your concern. I will try to update when I find out anything more.
