    Why is an indecent assault charge took so long to be brought against this man??? When was this report made??? What foolishness is this???

    For me, never mind the time it took to prosecute this guy. If found guilty, I hope he gets at least 10 years. What these guys are doing to our young women, is horrible and destructive. Why don’t they look for their own age group?
