    self employed handyman pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case

    Jan 6th aside, The Dude works in people’s homes, and there’s at least enough evidence to change him with solicitation of a child.

    Everybody has the right of innocent until proven guilty, but surely scary for any of his clients. Hope none of them have kids in the house.

      the presumptions of innocence until proven guilty only applies to criminal law. It does not apply to protecting your kids in your own home. You’re perfectly fine to say “no you are a pedophile and I’m not hiring you.” It’s also perfectly okay to drop reviews on such sites saying “This man solicited sex from my child.”

        Unless he actually did solicit sex from your child, it’s absolutely not “perfectly okay” to post that. It would be a pretty open and shut case of libel.

          To clarify , the context is about a guy who is indicted and going to trial for that.

        FuglyDuck didn’t solicit sex from my children, but they did call my children “fucking hideous” and then beat them with jumper cables. I was gonna beat them with jumper cables later and now I have nothing to do. Two stars.

          If it’s true it’s not defamation or slander.
