AFTERNOON UPDATE — Court schedules trial for McDowell woman
BLUEFIELD — Following an arraignment and detention hearing at U.S. District Court in Beckley earlier this week, a federal magistrate scheduled trial date for a McDowell County woman who is charged permitting a minor child in her custody to engage sexually explicit behavior, producing visual depictions of the conduct and sending the materials by mail, computer or other means.
Stacey Nichole Farmer, also known as Stacey Wright, 32, of Cucumber, was indicted Nov. 3, on a three count federal indictment stemming from the charges. Farmer was also named in a 21-count state indictment returned by a McDowell County grand jury on Oct. 20.
Federal Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort scheduled Farmer’s trial for Feb. 2, 2010, at U.S. District Court in Bluefield before U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger. VanDervort granted the government’s motion for detention, and returned Farmer to state custody.
