I only ask because the additional Edmonds just makes him seem fated for trouble.

Does the investigation always begin after the arrest? So, all you actually have to do if you're pissed at an adult, church or no, pastor or not, is be under 18 and claim sexual assault? They just bust down the door, make a scene, tell the world about the alleged assault, and then investigation begins?

Dude I wish I did that to a number of people. Mothafuckaz!

Because these are the guys that I wish all perverts looked like, because then we could see them coming from a mile away. All the freaks you post on this Perv Watch give me the creeps just based on their appearance alone.

I wouldn't be alone in a room with any of these freaks, let alone leave my child in their care.

I think you and I are headed for a wresting match where I get to pull your hair!

Yes. You can be arrested on suspicion of a crime and then they investigate afterwards. Hearings can be had then continued many times for multiple reasons, one of which is that the prosecuting teams needs to continue investigating. If you can post bail, that's great. If not, you stay in the can.
