that was because, probably because somebody had found out about the allegations and gave him the choice of either you go tell the police what's going on or i'm going to tell the police what's going on. the allegations of what was going on are spelled out in graphic detail in this citation. niemeyer is charged with first degree rape, sexual abuse and three counts of sodomy with a girl under the age of 12. the citation also says the alleged abuse occurred at niemeyer's home in independence over the past three years and the fact that niemeyer was a youth leader at new banklick baptist church has made the job of investigators job all the more difficult. rob-----that's why this case has become such a large scale investigation is because police officers have to look into a suspect that had much more of an opportunity than your average child molester does. fox19 now asked psychologist, dr. stuart bassman how alleged pedophiles can slip through background checks and gain access to children. stu-----what most

they consistently radar, they attempts not to be caught and what they do with children is they convince and persuade the children that what's going on is normal and natural so the child cannot speak up. close-------niemeyer was jailed on a 50- thousand dollar bond and if he's convicted on all charges he could spend at least 20 years in prison. in the newsroom i'm gordon graham.. fox19 now. developing now animation developing now... after days of re- occuring mudslides like this on columbia parkway... city workers are taking action. at 9 a-m tomorrow morning... all lanes of the parkway will shut down in both directions from torrence parkway so crews can remaining loose soil that keeps falling into the road! no word yet on when it's expected to reopen... you heard this story first on fox19now. tonight a group of concerned parents
