The defendant, Erik Hughes, appeared Wednesday in Fourth District Court before Judge Thomas Low with his attorney, John Allan.

Hughes is charged with two second-degree felonies of forcible sexual
abuse and one third-degree felony of tampering with a witness.
Police
reports state a now 18-year-old man told police in April that Hughes
had drugged him and sexually assaulted him several times about three
years ago.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
