I wonder why ARN did not report all Yedidiyah's charges and how his bond is now 1.85 Million Dollars? That is an unbelievable amount of money! They may as well just set no bond as not many people can afford that kind of bail. He was also charged with 2 counts of aggavated sexual assault, indecency with a child and 1 count of involvment with organized criminal activity. We already knew about the first charges, but not so detailed, but what about that last charge. I wonder what that is all about. Anyone have any comments on this?
