My son faces an evidentiary hearing before a judge at 8 AM Tuesday morning Central time. This is prior to grand jury. He has been accused, falsely I believe, of sexual assault by his ex-girl-friend. He is also accused of confining her. Pray that any lies against my son are exposed and not believed by the judge.

Thanks so much to all of you for your prayers. It seems hardly any more proof is required to slap a man in jail (temporarily if he has bail money) & collect a great payment of bail than that the woman say that the man did it. No physical evidence, no admission by the man; just "she said it."
And there is no real proof of the charge vs my son except that the ex says so.
Matters are going forward, probable cause was declared by a judge on no evidence but hearsay testimony by a detective who wasn't there & has no physical evidence.
My son is half Hispanic, the girl friend is light-skinned Afro-american, half Jewish by her mother.
It began with a conflict and split between my son & his girl friend. I think he had spent about $1,000,000 on her, believe it or not. He discovered an email or text message between this girl friend & her female friend where this girl friend spoke about marrying my son & stealing his millions.
After the split my son played the fool desperately wanting her back & wanting to marry her. She got about $30,000 from him in the first month of their (supposed) separation, during which time he gave her a $10,000 engagement ring. They had about 3 dates after the split, one in which he spent the night in her home alone with her (no sex). But about 2 months after the end of the so-called split, suddenly he was served with an ex parte Protective Order, banning him from going to the hospitals where he worked & from going near her. He thought the order was unsigned & just proposed, not effective, but he did not violate it.
The ex parte restraining order was issued by a family court judge.
Ex parte means that the man doesn't know about it, hasn't appeared, but a woman with her affidavit & lawyer go to a judge & ask for the order. Then the man is served and a few days later in this "civil trial," a quick kangaroo court is held.
My son was represented by an attorney who specialized in dog bites & accidents. IMHO, thoroughly incompetent.
I knew that the ex was seeking the protective order, but I did not know it had been issued. My son never told me or even hinted that I should contact his ex. My wife & I wrote letters to her without my son knowing it, politely, without a trace of threat. The judge declared that those letters were a violation of his unknown Protective Order vs. my son (not us) on the theory that our son was using us as agents to contact the X. & apparently those letters are the biggest basis of the judge saying he was a future threat to the girl friend.
On the day before the kangaroo court was to be held, my son was suddenly arrested & put in jail on the x's affidavit of sexual assault. This evidently was timed to prevent him from being able to testify. My son hired a criminal attorney who IMHO was also incompetent.
When the hearing began, my son was in jail. The ex testified when he was not there, and the criminal atty did not even attend the hearing, where he could have cross-examined the ex.
My son got out on bail & the next day testified only a little, because his attorney forbad him to testify -- so he had to plead the 5th. So he was railroaded & a 5 year Protective Order was slapped on him from Family Court. He was restricted from going to all the hospitals in the city where he works, because his ex also from time to time also works at those hospitals.
He is a special type of medical technician with an incorporated business & a staff who work for him. It brings in a lot of money. This was (about) in the first year year of his business, so he was just starting to bring in a lot of money, but unfortunately he blew it on this girl friend.
On the heels of the Protective Order, the husband of the Family Atty woman (who brought the charges vs him in Family Court) went to Civil Court. They put forth the claim that his ex owns his business. My son lost his 2 civil attorneys at the same time, since they had had business with my son's ex -- conflict of interest. So my son was without legal resources to prevent the ex from getting temporary control of his company. She quickly removed $200,000 from the company to her own account.
Eventually my son got an effective Civil attorney who put my son back in his manager's role of the company, but the company is still tied up in litigation, so my son cannot access his money in the company to pay his 3 attorneys enough. He borrowed some money, but needs much more now.
Meanwhile twice this ex has tried to get my son to date her, which would be a violation of the Protective Order & slap him in jail for contempt of court. She can approach him & send him messages, but he cannot approach her or send messages!
With 3 new attorneys (hopefully good ones this time), my son now faces the DA moving towards a grand jury hearing. Also he appealed the Family Court Protective Order. The case will be tried de novo with a more standard trial now. Suddenly yesterday, I heard that the new (appeal) Judge recused herself for unknown reasons. So it goes to a 3rd judge. The new 3rd Judge is a youngish afroamerican (skin color much like the ex girl-friend's) who supported Trayvon Martin vs Zimmerman at a rally (viewable on YouTube). Like Zimmerman, my son is half-Hispanic. So I think they may be able to get this judge recused also. On internet she said that one of her favorite songs is the very obscene "12 Play" by R. Kelly She appears to be a woman with experience in supporting women vs men in Family Court & probably also during a stint as prosecutor; she appears to be a socio/political activist, going to a church run by a protege of the Rev Jeremiah Wright (whom he calls "Daddy J). In such circles Trayvon Martin was murdered.
So I pray for a just judge. And I pray that my son's ex will be saved, & that any lies she told disbelieved & exposed. I believe the affidavit was full of lies. And my son's criminal lawyer explains this as an evil game to get my son's company & money. For some reason the Civil lawyer moved for Mediation (which is an indefinite, toothless process).
Please pray for wisdom on how to pray, then pray as you feel you should.

CURRENT PRAYER CONCERNS:
1) The New Family Court Judge; that a just judge will preside.
2) Deposition. Since Family Court is civil court, witnesses can be forced to give pre-trial depositions in from of attorneys (out of court). My son's ex girl friend needs a good cross-examination by a competent attorney at deposition. Also, the deposition surely needs to happen before the Grand Jury hears the criminal charge.
I don't know how it works, how fast they can get the deposition. I don't know if the issue of judges recusing self & new judges being appointed, slows down the Grand Jury. At any rate, I surely would like the deposition to get expedited and the matter not be presented to Grand Jury before that.
3) Ideally, the ex girl friend would repent and the cases dropped. I assume she needs to be saved, though she went through the motions of conversion to Christianity, having had a Jewish mother -- she was baptized. At any rate, I surely would like the Lord to turn her heart away from destroying my son.

Sorry you are going through this with your son. When all this is over, you really need to have some talks with him about accountablity with money, and his relationship with women.
I know it is going to be hard on you. I do pray that the truth will come to light, and that you will get a fair trial and a good judge.
