Source: The Sun, Yuma, Ariz.mini storageAug. 14--Tuesday's hearing in Yuma County Superior Court for Ronald S. Morgan, who has been charged with child molestation and burglary with a sexual motivation, was continued for 30 days in order to give his defense attorney time to conduct more interviews.When asked by Superior Court Judge Maria Elena Cruz to provide an update on the status of the case, defense attorney David Pardee, of the Yuma County Public Defender's Office, who was standing in for Morgan's appointed attorney, explained that German Salazar, the attorney appointed to the case, has conducted several witness interviews since his client's last hearing and is still attempting to locate several other witnesses whom he intends to interview.Pardee also stated that Salazar asked him to inform the court that he planned to interview the police investigators involved in the case as well, but had not done so yet.Prosecutor John Ballos, of the Yuma County Attorney's Office, in giving the state's position, informed the court that the defense has not made any requests to interview the police investigators yet, but if they were to do so, the prosecutor assigned to the case would arrange them.In response, Cruz instructed Ballos to inform prosecutor Karolyn Kaczorowski, who is assigned to the case, that the defense has requself storagested the interviews and to go ahead and schedule them. She also set Morgan's next court date in the case for 9:30 am on Sept. 10.Morgan was arrested the morning of April 23 after he allegedly entered a residence in Wellton to commit a burglary. He then allegedly entered the bedroom of a girl who was about 11 years old and molested her. The girl was home alone at the time because her mother was working, Wellton police said.After the arrest was made public, at least two other possible victims came forward to police with stories of allegedly being sexually abused by Morgan over a year ago.Wellton police are working with the Yuma County Sheriff's Office because they believe Morgan may have molested other children throughout the entire county.Wellton police believe that Morgan's demonstrated pattern of behavior was over an extended period of time, possibly as far back as five years ago, and that some of his victims may have been too young to tell their stories.Morgan was homeless and would move around from home to home staying with different friends and family members. While there, he would allegedly molest the children who lived in the homes, according to Wellton police.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Sun (Yuma, Ariz.)
