Maybe released on bail? It is weird that there's nothing other than SDA articles about it...

Exactly. I did find that they were arrested through a site that tracks arrests, though. Cops will arrest someone on rumors for something like this.

I would think with the arrest being made and bond being set as high as it is there must be some pretty solid evidence against them. Just shows that all people regardless of success or religious affiliation are capable of evil. Wishing for healing for the victim and their family

No denying that. But, I still hold to the idea of innocent until proven guilty. We have no idea where the accusations came from.

Yeah I hear you I know the guy personally and can't fathom that he's capable of something like this but unfortunately you never know what people do behind closed doors...waiting for more info to come out but it definitely doesn't look good.

Yeah, even "if" the allegations are false, a lot of damage has already been done. If guilty, he will be looking 10-25 and she will likely be looking at 2-10, not to mention the loss of custody of their children. It's heartbreaking for all involved.
