Rape and sexual-assault charges against lawyer Robert Kerns have been dropped for the second time. However, the former Montgomery County Republican Party leader is still set to return to court on other charges.
Retired York County Magisterial District Judge Joann L. Teyral made her decision after reviewing the record and said at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that Kerns would go to the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas on July 30 for an arraignment on the six remaining charges against him: three counts of aggravated indecent assault, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of simple assault.
