The victim told police that she and Darrell first met at the Sonic on Beauregard Ave. At the time, the victim was a sophomore at Central High School and she was 15-years-old.

The charge was dismissed following a no contest pre trial diversion.

So, why if they proved he was the father in 2008, did it take them 10 more years to do anything. Maybe I'm reading this wrong. It's not like the victim came forward 10 years later because they realized that their is no statute of limitations all of a sudden. The court ordered paternity test proved he was the father in '08, so why ten years to do anything?

PermalinkMaybe he stopped paying. Either way, weird timing.

PermalinkCouldn't be that... Once they realized he was the father, they would have known he was guilty of a crime back in '08... He never would have made it to paying child support.
There's something missing from the story.

PermalinkGross.
This story is definitely not providing the missing details... Don't really care for any more detail on the actual offense though Mr. "Big"... Just how he wasn't charged for it over a span of 10 years.
Joking about sexual abuse, willingly participated in or otherwise, isn't funny... It just isn't.

PermalinkIt says he was arrested for the charge of. It doesn't state when he was convicted of the charge and the warrant was issued. He was probably charged with it 10 years ago, warrant issued then, went into hiding and just now was found and arrested. You people would be amazed at how many times this happens. It's not that these people aren't being looked for just some people are really good at hiding. It also doesn't state who started him. He could have been arrested out of state and brought back here for the charge. He could have even been in prison all the this time, TGC would have placed a hold on him to bring him here once he was finished with his sentence in prison. You just wouldn't believe how often this happens. The media dose not know everything and leaves out A LOT!!!!!!!!
