No case file, accused sex offender walks
An accused child sex offender walked out of court a free man today because no case file could be presented to the judge. According to court reports, thirty-five year old mason Bert Abraham was accused in January 2005 for having sex with a fourteen year old girl. Abraham was subsequently charged with four counts of unlawful carnal knowledge but since then prosecutors have failed to submit any evidence against the accused. After several adjournments, this morning Chief Magistrate Herbert Lord ordered that the charges be dismissed against Abraham for want of prosecution.
