Five New Faces On Grand Jury
Five new faces appeared today on the May term grand jury as it again turned its attention to rape charges against Robert L. Yates. The case represented an effort to avoid any loopholes in indictments that might be returned against the former supervisor at Hillcrest Children's Home. The 34-year-old Yates was indicted by the May term jury in its report May 21 on four counts of statutory rape involving two girls at the home. Those indictments were dismissed June 10 in Common Pleas Court, however, when it was shown that one of the grand jurors was not a registered voter in Scioto.
