Two of six former Youth Development Center (YDC) counselors, charged with sexually exploiting teens at the juvenile facility between 1994 and 2005, were granted bail Thursday while the other four will have bail hearings Friday morning.

Accused killer Isaiah Rivera-Perez will be freed from jail, pending trial, if he can find $10,000 cash to post for bail after a Superior Court judge ruled last week that the state did not show he fired his gun out of revenge and not to protect himself or his family.

The current charges are alleged to have occurred between 1994-2005.

A Superior Court judge closed a hearing Tuesday afternoon concerning the mental health evaluation conducted of a 19-year-old city man accused of stabbing three Manchester police officers last year during a domestic call.

The 1269 Café was forced to relocate from the former Manchester police station last year after its landlord employed hard-nose tactics including sending in armed security guards to patrol the grounds; barring clients from using common bathrooms; towing a café car from a permitted parking space, and filing eviction papers, though the café was in full compliance with the lease.

There were 226 indictments handed up last week for the month of February by a grand jury sitting in Hillsborough County Superior Court Northern District, which makes indictments available as part of the public record. 

n setting bail at $5,000 cash, Judge David Anderson said the state fell slightly short of providing clear and convincing evidence that Bixby was a danger to the community.  However, he said the $300 cash bail the defense requested was insufficient.  Should Bixby post bail, she is to live with her parents in Parsonsfield, Maine.

In the year since a lawsuit was filed alleging sexual and physical abuse of more than 30 children at the state-run youth detention center, the case has expanded to more than 230 children spanning six decades, according to recent court filings.
