A preliminary hearing — at which a judge decides if there’s enough evidence for the case to proceed — had been scheduled for later this month but was postponed Thursday to May 23. There have been prior postponements.
On Oct. 9, 2022, Drown was arrested after showing up at a local park to meet someone he believed was a 15-year-old boy for sex, according to court filings. He’d earlier engaged in a sexually explicit conversation with a sheriff’s detective posing as a teenager on the gay dating app Grindr, and made plans to meet, the filings say.
