More On Sidney Starr Court Appearance
According to Carter, Sidney Starr’s defense attorney, Anthony Lake, pleaded with a judge to release her on bond. On August 2, police arrived at the Embassy Suites hotel. There, family members of a 13-year-old boy were reportedly highly distressed.
Per Carter, it was in the lobby of that hotel that a 13-year-old boy allegedly approached Starr and told her she was “cute.” The 13-year-old allegedly went up to Starr’s room, where “sexual contact” occurred. Prosecutors allege the contact included oral intercourse.
Families Speak Out Amid Her Court Appearance
During Starr’s court appearance, the mother of the 13-year-old boy had a statement read on her behalf. Furthermore, the statement explained that her child suffered intense emotional and psychological harm. Ultimately, the judge did not render Sidney Starr’s bond.
“This decision was made off of speculative opinion and not evidence,” Nora, Starr’s best friend, shared in a statement read to TSR. “… Sidney Starr is disappointed by the bond decision [made] today by the judge. Sidney is still in good spirits and asks that the public try not to make a judgment about the guilt based on this decision.”
