YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — A former
Yuma police officer will be able move despite awaiting trial on one count of
luring a minor for sexual exploitation.
The Yuma Sun reports
(http://bit.ly/1fZIuGr) that a Yuma County Superior Court judge on Friday
granted the request made by 25-year-old Ron Anton Ciancimino.
The judge ordered that
Ciancimino check in with probation officials every week.
Michael Donovan, Ciancimino's
defense attorney, says his client wants to move to his parents' home in Safford
because he can't find employment and had to sell his house.
Ciancimino is scheduled to go
on trial Oct. 7.
Prosecutors say Ciancimino
solicited sexual conduct from a 16-year-old girl.
Donovan says sexually explicit
photos of the victim were taken by another defendant and the victim has made
statements in support of Ciancimino.
