A TRIAL setting on the child
abuse case of U.S. Air Force Capt. Michael Eric Dunlop and his wife, Kendall
Dunlop, has been moved to June 19 at Judge Katherine Maramans courtroom.
The couple earlier pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges in connection
with the confiscated nude photos of their minor children.
The Andersen Air Force Base bioenvironmental officer was charged with
three counts of child abuse while his wife was charged with six counts
of child abuse, all are misdemeanors.
They pleaded not guilty to all charges, waived a speedy trial, and requested
a jury trial.
The couple was originally charged with felony crimes after they allegedly
took pictures of their two minor sons, aged 5 and 4, who were immediately
placed under the custody of the Healing Heart Crisis Center.
They were jailed with a $100,000 bail each after local law enforcers raided
their Yigo residence and seized some 1,700 nude photos of adults and children,
primarily their minor children.
They were eventually released on $5,000 bail each after the Office of
the Attorney General amended the complaint against them following a discovery
that the pictures in question were taken in their previous residence in
Texas, losing local prosecutors a jurisdiction over the felony charges.
The couple is still working for the release of their minor children who
are held under the custody of child protective services.
