Forcible rape suspect Frank Alves has retained Mr. Gregory Kreis who substituted in as attorney and Mr. Ken Bareilles is no longer his attorney. According to the court minutes say Mr. Kreis is retained; not court appointed. Since Mr. Bareilles was retained by Alves, unless his financial circumstances have changed, it is logical that the substitution would be another private defense attorney. Alves was the caregiver for Jane Doe, a dependent adult.
Mr. Kreis was talking to Deputy District Attorney Carolyn Schaffer after court today about discovery.
Alves was arraigned today. Readiness Conference is scheduled for 5/21; jury trial on 5/27.
This is the second client in an alleged sex offense that Mr. Bareilles has hired another attorney after the preliminary hearing. I previously reported that alleged sex trafficker Darin Ward is looking for another attorney. Ward has a Readiness Conference in his case tomorrow and you can check the previous post on Ward for an update from that hearing.
5/21/25: Jury trial scheduled for 5/27 vacated after defense request to continue granted. Trial setting on 6/25.
6/25/25: Readiness Conference special set on 9/9/25 with Judge Kelly Neel; jury trial on 9/22.
After my 6/25/25, update, once again dates were added, changed and rescheduled. Trial setting on 7/31/25.
7/31/25: Readiness conference on 10/21; jury trial on 11/3.
10/21/25: Defense request to continue granted to discuss possible resolution. 11/3 date vacated. Trial setting on 11/4.
11/4/25: Readiness Conference on 3/10/26; jury trial on 3/23/26.
