Mediation eyed in long running Polk sex abuse cases
Judge non affiliated to the cases would mediate between Polk and the state at the request of Polk and with the approval of Polk's court appointed attorney and the Douglas County DA office. The court began offering mediation in August as another path to resolve criminal matters. If no agreement is reached the case could proceed to trial with both sides having made their best effort. Polk's coercion to self representation was not ruled on as mediation was pursued. Polk faces multiple off grid felonies with potential life sentences and is held on bonds totaling $550000. He is scheduled for Jan 19 court appearance.
