] A Gwinnett County judge has ordered the continuance of
] the child molestation trial for DragonCon founder Edward
] Kramer.
]
] Kramer had surgery recently and it is unknown when his
] condition will improve enough that the trial can be held,
] said prosecutors. Kramer is at home recuperating and
] remains under house arrest.
]
] Edward Kramer is the founder of the popular annual
] science fiction convention DragonCon.
]
] Today, six months after his initial trial date, Kramer
] was to face felony charges of child molestation and
] aggravated child molestation.
]
] Kramer was arrested Aug. 25, 2000, after a 13-year-old
] boy said he was sodomized while spending the night at
] Kramer's Duluth home.
]
] Weeks later, the 15-year-old brother of the 13-year-old
] told police that he, too, was molested while visiting
] Kramer's home, authorities said.
]
] Just before the case was to go to trial last November,
] another victim emerged. An 18-year-old testified before a
] grand jury panel and claimed four years of sexual abuse
] by Kramer, a family friend, prosecutors said. The teen
] said Kramer abused him between January 1996 and August
] 2000.
]
] Kramer maintains his innocence

I find it suspicious that the surgery was scheduled in a conflict with the new trial date, causing the trial to again be delayed.
