Frank Atherton, who is accused of sexually assaulting 3 children and then had the permission from a judge to go to Walt Disney World, will now have to make other plans. The judge who granted the permission earlier, changed his mind (duh!) and reversed his decision.
Gee... all the negative publicity surrounding this whole debacle didn't have anything to do with this sudden change of heart, did it? But was he too late?
But during a Thursday hearing, Sahlstrom said he was unaware Atherton planned on going to Disney World. He told Haughan to contact Atherton, who already had left on his trip, and tell him to not go to the theme park, the Sun-Times and Rockford Register Star reported.
The fact that this was approved a month ago, and all that time, nothing was done until the recent publicity surrounding this absurd decision makes me think that the reversal was in response to the negative publicity. He would have gone of to WDW if all this didn't happen.
Unbelievable!

UPDATE: This news report has a more detailed "explanation" given by the judge in question. Somehow, it doesn't make me feel any better (or safer) that such decisions can be made in such an informal manner. "Houston, we have a problem", comes to mind.

HE did know he was going to disney and he DID approve the specific location of disney.
Well, that is my haunch also, but obviously I have no first hand knowledge or proof to back it up. I wish you have one that I can verify.
Thanks.
