Former Deputy Attorney General Daniel Simmons has hired high-profile Delaware criminal defense attorney Joe Hurley to defend against charges that he raped a 16-year-old youth. In addition, the individual who arranged the encounter will likely not be charged with a crime, according to prosecutors involved in the case.
Simmons, who was charged earlier this month with four counts of fourth-degree rape, waived his preliminary hearing that was scheduled to occur May 19. The Attorney General’s Sussex County Office is handling Simmons’ prosecution.
