Move Ordered in Sex Slave Trial
A visiting judge ruled today that the trial of a Red Bluff millworker accused of imprisoning a woman for seven years in sexual bondage--often confining her for months at a time in wooden boxes--must be moved to another California county were there was less publicity.
Plumas County Superior Court Judge Stanley Young granted the change of venue for the trial of 31-year-old Cameron Hooker on 18 felony charges including rape, kidnaping, sodomy and torture. The state Judicial Council in San Francisco will make the final decision on the trial site, expected in two to three months.
