Rock man sexual abuse trial opens in Princeton
The Rock man Marrie Eugene Williams stands trial in Princeton on four counts of first degree sexual abuse of minors.

A prosecution witness, Phyllis Hasty, testified that play therapy helps children and one child viewed the abuse as a game while another felt guilt.

Athens man in court for firearm violation
Dane Wilton Bolin Jr., 40, of Athens, appeared before Federal Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort on charges tied to a domestic violence protective order. A complaint by ATF agent Wesley B.
