I've heard from Paul and he's asked I forward an exerpt from our conversation.... I've taken the liberty of editing, so here's what is happening.
I think we can Forgive him for his absence in a time like this.

"The jerk has gone for a trial by jury, which clogs up the system a bit. He is buying himself a few more days away from the big house. My guess is that he will try to prolong the trial and then try for a plea bargain. He knows the hell that awaits child molesters. So there is a kind of satisfaction there.
There is no chance that he will get away with it. We have DNA on our side, (you figure That one out), so any kind of side stepping by his lawyer will be mute.
Those close have also told us that any attempt to switch judges (to possibly find one sympathetic to the jerk) will be met with a solid wall of child abuse hating judges.
I am not doing anything to distract me from this issue, (I.E.) I have no time for modelling right now, I have let this issue take over. This is why I have kept away from the forum, all this is just too much for me right now."
