Washington, DC (TLS). Allena Williams Ward, the 23-year-old married school teacher accused of sexual misconduct with under-age teenage boys, will return to court on April 2. Until that time, Mrs. Ward is confined to her home, monitored by an electronic device that allows law enforcement officers to track her whereabouts.
Ward's movements are restricted. She is allowed only to attend church, see her attorney, get medical attention, and travel to court.
As reported previously on The Liberty Sphere, Ward's family has been supportive of the beleaguered teacher. Upon her release from jail, she walked arm-in-arm with her husband, surrounded by her father and other family members. They had been advised by legal counsel not to speak to the media. Once inside the vehicle, she could be seen crying as she was closely embraced by her husband.
Ward's father put up the money for her to make bail.
On condition of anonymity, sources close to Ward and her family report being totally baffled by the arrest. Without fail, these sources spoke of Mrs. Ward in glowing terms, describing her as a devout Christian who had never been involved with any illegal activity or behavior that could be considered questionable. Each source stated that up until now Ward's reputation had been beyond reproach.
These descriptions of Ward's character make the arrest and the charges that led to them all the more baffling.
As we have stated previously, there is much more here than what meets the eye. And this is why it is essential that residents of Clinton avoid any rush to judgment so that the defendant can have her day in court.
There are at least two sides to every story. All we have heard thus far is the law enforcement side. We will hear Ward's side when the trial gets underway.
