Alleged sex trafficker and molestor Darin Ward held to answer to all 14 counts and special allegations

 

Alleged sex trafficker Darin Ward's preliminary hearing finally concluded today. He was held to answer on all 14 counts and special allegations.Judge Timothy Canning denied the defense 17 (b) motions. Arraignment on information is on 12/4.

Deputy Carolyn Schaffer is the prosecutor for the case. Mr. Ken Bareilles is Ward's attorney.

If you followed my coverage of the case including the detailed posts on the preliminary hearing, the only ones surprised by today's ruling and probably still in denial are Ward, his family and Mr. Bareilles. 

12/4: Ward was arraigned on information on 14 counts. He and his family are the most clueless people I have seen. They were laughing and talking before Ward's case was called; his demeanor talking to Mr. Bareilles was the same as the preliminary hearing. Readiness Conference on 1/15/25; jury trial on 1/27/25.
