A magisterial district judge has ruled that attorney and former Montgomery County GOP Chairman Robert J. Kerns will have to answer all 19 charges against him, including counts of rape and indecent sexual assault, in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.
Chester County Senior Magisterial District Judge Susann Welsh determined at Kerns’ preliminary hearing Friday that the 19 charges against him, stemming from the alleged rape of a female employee of his law firm, will stand. An arraignment at the common pleas level is currently set for Jan. 29.
