It can be confusing but I can't say that the well-being of the minor in question is not being considered. Clearly, the criminal court has considered her as bail conditions prevent the man from being around the girl. And CPS has a high standard to meet. Allegations do not equal fact in court. The 2000 allegations, what was the result? That would make a big difference to the probate court. Many people are certain as to the "known of the history of abuse, violence, perversion and avoidance, by the adults KT and JT", but allegations are not enough to prove that history.
Right now, the bail conditions keep the minor safe. If those are modified, the probate court conditions would keep the minor safe if the monitoring must be done by a professional, and NOT by someone who trusts the father.
We will see how this plays out. But he's not going to get away with having child *advertiser censored* on his computer. Possession is a felony that can lead to up to 4 years in prison.
What concerns me though is I thought I saw he was charged with only 1 count, yet 18 images were found on his computer. Is that true? If so, he should've been charged with more counts.
In any event, this case is fitting the pattern thus far of detectives who know a lot more than they're saying but not enough just yet to arrest, so they're putting on the pressure.
This is similar to the AJ Hadsell case as well as the Hannah Graham case - suspects are charged with lesser crimes they can be charged with which has the bonus of being used to pressure and to keep the community safe until further, more serious charges can possibly be brought.
This does NOT mean that the initial charges are merit-less, however.
