Did Howard Richard Sills broke the law?
In the Union Recorder dated 5/16/2002. Sheriff Sills is quoted as saying: "The reason York was not arrested in 1998 when letters were first sent is simple, Sills said. There was not enough evidence to bring a conviction, he said". But according to O.C.G.A. 19-7-5, any state government worker who is presented with an allegation of child abuse must immediately report it, and DFACS is to do a full-scale investigation on the allegations.
