Dale Standridge who had bail set for $100,000, posted bail and appeared out of custody for his arraignment this afternoon for the felony charge if PC 288.5 a.
It is alleged in the complaint filed by the District Attorney's office that in Count 1 covering the period "from June 23, 2007 to June 23, 2013,"Standridge engaged in "three or more lewd and lascivious acts with Jane Doe," who is under the age of 14, while residing with the child.
According to one source, Standridge, who is 48 years old, is the owner of Sharp Auto graphics in Eureka.
At first, Mr. Greg Rael, a private attorney was going to make a special appearance, then the Public Defender's office was appointed for Standridge who indicated he could not afford a private attorney.

Thank you for writing about this. Although his last name is Standridge. He does own Sharp Auto Graphics and is an elder in the kingdom hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will fix the last name.
ReplyDeleteIn 2008 he spoke at a meeting under the theme "resist the temptation"

That religion attracts pedophiles because they have a very strict "2 witness rule " meaning if 2 other people weren't there to see it, it didn't happen. Earlier this year the Royal Commission in Australia held a session on the 1000+ KNOWN pedophiles that were still allowed to become elders, while their past was kept secret from those in the hall. I was in the same hall as Dale for many many years, I never would've thought it would be him.
DeleteI hope the victims family can get help for her as well as help for themselves.
H.H. - I've been looking for information on Dale's arrest for weeks with no luck until just now. Didn't think I would stumble across comments from an old friend. I'm impressed by your commitment to staying informed and speaking out against the organization after all these years. Very few people trapped in this "faith" ever find their way to freedom, yet, a lot of ex-JWs leave what they know about the organization behind them. It's easier and sometimes healthier to forget about it. Thus why I said I am impressed by your endeavors to continue speaking out about the corruption we were raised in.
ReplyDeleteWe sure have come a long way, old friend. Who would have ever guessed that time would lead us here after all the BS we were literally brainwashed to believe. I'm grateful to have had the gumption to educate myself and get out. And I am glad to know that although we may not be close friends as we once were, you too have fought and found your way to freedom.
Now if only I knew how to gain some footing in the wake of leaving, lol. It's rather disturbing to find out that life as the world around us lives it is foreign in so many ways when you were raised in a bubble. It's hard, but it's worth it.
As for Dale, wow, I never would have pegged him to be the type. But I suppose they all are, really. Bastard. Thinking on him sitting in on Judicial Committee meetings, judging myself and others, as "directed by the Holy Spirit," while he himself was not only committing gross immorality, but a CRIME really pisses me off. And now, all bets are off the table as to which of the elders in the hall could be doing the same. Litschke, Owley, hell, even Holcomb, they are all raising my brow at the possibilities. Hypocrites. Grrrr!!!
Anyway, maybe we can chat sometime. We're old ladies now! ;)
-L.S.
I think you should hold off on the judgement for now, Dale has not been proven guilty in a court of law. Also, judge not, least you be judged by the manner which you judge.
DeleteThis ridiculous case has been thrown out of court! Dale wad falsely accused of this crime, shame on you gossip-hungry mongers! One thing I do agree on though is that the 'young girl'and her family seek the help they need for fabricating such horrendous lies and trying to ruin someone's life and livelyhood!
ReplyDeleteThe case has been dismissed now. Nothing was said if any case would be refiled. I also think that the victim's statement and father's statement when posted will show what side you are on.
