NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Authorities have formally dropped charges against a former New York City disc jockey who died in custody while awaiting trial on charges in a child sex sting.
A tearful former New York City radio personality made his first appearance in federal court Wednesday, five weeks after he was arrested in the U.S. Virgin Islands and charged with trying to arrange to have sex with a 7-year-old girl.
Retied New York radio personality Dave Hermann is due in a Newark courtroom on charges he tried to transport a 7-year-old girl to the U.S. Virgin Islands for sex.
The lawyer for Dave Herman, currently in a St. Croix jail on charges stemming from a sex sting, says the legendary radio personality was tricked by a female undercover detective.
Retired New York radio personality Dave Herman did not enter a plea during his first court appearance on Friday after being charged in a sting operation with trying to transport a 7-year-old girl to the U.S. Virgin Islands for sex.
