* Forwarded from "CHILD_ABUSE_ISSUES"
From a source I consider reliable comes this information:
1).  When last we had heard, both the Governor and House Speaker of the State 
of Washington had requested that the Department of Justice look into the 
Wenatchee matter.  The Reno led Department found "no evidence" of any abuses 
on the part of Detective Perez or the Prosecutor.
Critics suggest that Reno's active role in prosecuting child abuse cases, 
more than one of which was ultimately determined to be unfounded, may have 
served to unduly bias her in this direction.  This arguement is not entirely 
without merit, in that it has been reported that one Department of Justice 
Investigator has offered his services free of charge, in support of the 
accused in the Wenatchee case.
I'm looking for newspaper articles that will provide more information, and 
will likely have a follow-up to this report in a few days.
2).  KREM-TV Reporter Tom Grant, long time critic of the goings on in 
Wenatchee, has found himself added to the list of those accused of the abuse 
of the foster-child of Detective Perez.  It has been reported that Dean Tong, 
author of "Don't Blame ME, Daddy," warned him that such an accusation was an 
inevitability, given his high profile coverage of these events.
More on this and other developments in the case is forthcoming.
