Accused computer sex offender Donald S. Waterman got a reprieve last week from his bond revocation. Waterman, charged with 19 counts of sexual exploitation of children, was allowed to remain free because he has not yet completed a court-ordered mental evaluation. One of the witnesses in the case asked for the delay. Immediately after his case was continued, Waterman, whose arm was wrapped in a bandage, and his family left the courthouse. He was charged after digital images of minors engaged in explicit activity were allegedly found on his computer, including one of his step-granddaughter that had been digitally altered and, according to court documents, 10 photos of minors engaged in oral sex, three of minors engaged in sexual intercourse, two of minors engaged in masturbation and two of minors engaged in other sexually explicit conduct.
