The trial was put off again. I wish the courts would hurry up and convict him.
Kevin has requested a new judge and been granted this wish. He is due back in court on Nov 4th. What a monster!
The case can be followed on the winnebago county circuit clerk website. You need to go to online cases and type in the last name thompson. It is not that user friendly of a website, but I will try to keep an update as the case goes along.
Stanley, where do you find all this info like the court dates and stuff? I live in SB and am interested in following this more but can’t find out anything aside from what is on here. The local stations and papers have pretty much dropped all coverage of this story in lieu of another situation in Durand.
Kevin returns to court on the 29th. I wonder if he just pleads guilty to spare his family the embarrassment instead of going to trial. Looks like a pretty solid case against him. This goes to show you that sex offenders can not be rehabilitated and need to be punished severely for their crimes.
This does not look good at all for Kevin. It looks like his predator techniques has finally caught up with him. I’ve known Kevin for several years, and am not at all surprised by the arrest. All indications are that he will re-offend, hopefully the judge teaches him a lesson for ruining this girls life. Shame on you Kevin for taking advantage of a 13 year old.
arrogant, self-centered, egotisical, narcissistic………….they’re all the same! They think they are too smart to get caught. Think again, buddy!!
Kevin needs to be locked up for a long time. It’s a shame that he would act as a predator to students that he is trusted with teaching. Kevin is a monster and manipulated this young girl. Hopefully, his neighbor’s do not let their kids outside anymore.
Remember people these are just allegations at this time
No charges yet, innocent until proven guilty. no admission either
