More details to this question:
My neighbor sexually assaulted my daughter and other children. DCS investigated and found cause to continue further legal action. He gave the case to our D.A. He said he has court in Nashville. Now this is in the state of Tennessee. This is Pikeville. I called our D.A. they said they don't do cases in Nashville. Why would you have a court case in a different city than which you live?
