Followup: Starkenburg in court for West Seattle child-rape case

At the King County Courthouse this morning, Gatewood resident Duane Starkenburg was arraigned on the newest charge against him – child rape, from an incident that allegedly happened about a decade ago, but wasn’t brought to police attention till last month. King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office spokesperson Dan Donohoe says Starkenburg pleaded not guilty; his bail will remain set at half a million dollars. His next court appearance in this case is scheduled for October 25th, while he is still awaiting trial on the three charges against him in the jogger-attacks case for which he was arrested last January.

    I hate that there is a statue of limitations to child rape when part of the fear in the child usually is telling about the rape. Seems so wronge that a teen could finally get the courage to tell to only hear “its too late” by our “justice” system.

Sorry, comment time is over.
