Suffolk swim coach accused of indecent liberties, child porn

Some time back I wrote this post, and this one, about a Female rapist getting a PR Bond from Judge Eileen Olds in Chesapeake. Now the story below prove that on men get no bond in rape, and other indecent liberties with children. Just maybe the Judges who work in Suffolk knows what they are doing. May Judge Eileen Olds could learn something from them.

Charges against Western Branch student sent to grand jury


CHESAPEAKE

Gun charges against an 18-year-old Western Branch High student have been certified to the grand jury for possible indictments.

Antonio J. Atkins was arrested April 4 after a fellow student told school officials about a gun on school grounds. Officers searched Atkins and found a .22-caliber handgun and ammunition, police said.

A grand jury will hear charges against Atkins for possession of a firearm on school property and possession of a weapon by a felon. A misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon was dismissed today in Chesapeake General District Court. Atkins, a resident of the 3300 block of Golden Oaks Lane in Western Branch, is being held in the City Jail without bond.


so let me get this right, if you are a felon with a gun on school, you get no bond, however if you are a female charge with rape of a young boy, you get a PR Bond till you trial. I guess this poor kid, whom could be black got the wrong judge to hear his case. Then again the judges must show a strong stand on guns in school while its ok to rape young kids...
