Bob Dennis Makes A Very Powerful Comment

BobDennis has left a new comment on your post "MORE On Somerset County":

The bs doesn't just stop with the Somerset County Commissioners.

I have personal knowledge that a handicapped young lady was sexually assaulted while on her way home from the Somerset County Developmental Center. The bus she was on is operated by the center and provides transportation to and from the center for the clients. A report was filed with the state police and a medical examination was completed and determined that some type of violation had occurred.

A peace order was issued to keep the accused and victim apart. The victim's mother continually stayed in contact with the court system to find out when a trial date would be set for the case. Seems that the day the trial was conducted, there had been no notification to the mother so that she and the victim may attend. The accused and representatives of the Developmental Center were however contacted and did appear in court. As a result of the mother and victim not appearing in court the case was dismissed.

When the State's Attorney was contacted by the victim's mother, he stated he had made a miatake based on information he had received from the center. Today she did receive a notice from the court to appear in court and state why the peace order should continue. I have heard that certain people have connections in the county with those in power. Sadly that seems to be quite true. God willing the victim's day will come.
