Suspected child predator likely facing more charges

Tim Hahn reports in the Erie Times-News that former Cambridge Springs resident Christopher P. Cote—charged in July with raping a 3-month-old girl in the borough—could be charged with a similar crime involving another child. Cote was out on $35,000 bail but is now back in the Crawford County Correctional Facility after violating the terms of his bail by hanging out unsupervised with a 17-year-old girl. (Although the article doesn't mention this, apparently someone tipped off Cambridge Springs Police that Cote was with the girl.)

I think it goes without saying that this a disgusting situation, and it's certainly questionable, given the nature of Cote's alleged crime, that he was even allowed out on bail in the first place. But I guess we still have to live by innocent until proven guilty...
