Great. Prosecute the SOB for the third time, and keep his a** in jail/prison where it belongs.

That case was strange, in that he had been investigated for such activity more than once previously, and no charges were filed. But, the story went, he was warned to avoid even the hint of impropriety and keep his distance from the cadets. What a fool he had to be to offend again, and get caught. The leadership of the ANA was asleep at the switch for allowing it to reoccur. The head of the ANA, a retired army brigadier general, was out of there as soon as Barton was arrested. Later it was revealed that Barton had left a private school somewhere else in the nation after accusations of the same sort of abuse. But he'd managed to get that school to stay mum about why he left its employ. Yet, he kept a copy of the documentation hidden in his car, and it was found by the cops after his arrest here, adding credence to the charges being brought. Without those documents the local authorities would likely have never known about it.

Good to have you back, Eva!

The case is being retired due to a technicality not because the judge thought he was innocent. Hopefully the third time will be the charm. I am sure he has new friends in prison.

Convicted child abuser Jeffrey Barton did not appear for his scheduled hearing today, Wednesday March 3, 2021. In fact, he was never moved into local custody in San Diego County, and he remains in custody at California State Prison Avenal. Prosecutor Patricia Lavermicocca has filed “an order to produce” Barton for a hearing on March 23 at 9 a.m. in Department 5 of the North County Superior Courthouse in Vista.
(there is courthouse gossip that Barton's very-experienced and aggressive defense counsel Sherry Stone is trying to negotiate a plea deal so the prisoner can be released for "time served.")

At a hearing Monday, October 18, 2021, a new trial date was suggested in late January 2022, although evidence and witnesses are not expected to be heard until February 2022. Honorable judge Robert Kearney will hear "motions" four days, November 15, 16, 17, 18, in year 2021, during those motion hearings the attorneys commonly will argue about what evidence will be permitted. The defendant appeared paler, fatter, and whispered energetically to his attorney during the one-hour hearing yesterday.
