MILLERSBURG — A Glenmont man on Thursday admitted to sexually violated two girls while they were in his care. William Hiller, 57, of 4571 County Road 51, Glenmont, pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to two counts of gross sexual imposition. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 28, at which time Hiller faces up to 10 years in prison. Hiller's plea comes in the wake of a decision in which Judge Robert Rinfret denied a motion to suppress a confession made to Holmes County Detective Sgt. Jim Henry. In his ruling, Rinfret said Henry did not make false promises in order to coerce Hiller into the confession. The Holmes County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation on June 2 after receiving a call from child welfare investigators.

Mr. Bradford was sentenced to two and a half years in state prison for assault and filed a lawsuit from Ogdensburg Correctional Facility, implying that he would not have received a state prison sentence if not for the warrantless search of his residence. He was released from prison under parole supervision in February 2014. Bradford has not contacted the court about his lawsuit since November 2014. In July, Magistrate Judge Therese Wiley Dancks recommended that the action be dismissed because Mr. Bradford, who acted as his own attorney, had not advised the court of his change of address or provided any reason why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Judge David N. Hurd dismissed the case. Bradford claimed that he was forced into pleading guilty in County Court when a judge advised him of the potential years of incarceration he would face in the event he was convicted of assault following trial. He also claimed that the County Court sentenced him without the benefit of a presentence report. The appellate court rejected his

Many blame the Reid Technique. A technique used to question people who are thought to be guilty. But in fact the Reid Technique has been used for over 50 years, so if it does not work why are we using it? The Reid Technique is an ineffective way of interrogation if it is not done properly and the person conducting the interrogation does not oblige the strict steps.
