Supreme Court rejects Swan sex abuse appeal
The Supreme Court refused to overturn the Seattle area couple William and Kathleen Swan on hearsay evidence from their 3 year old daughter and a friend. The decision leaves their 1986 statutory rape convictions intact after day care workers reported secondhand statements and no conclusive physical evidence was found. The ruling follows a 1990 precedent allowing convictions without direct confrontation with young accusers.
