[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this the beloved music teacher I always hear about?

[b]How can he be on a $50k bond if this is “This is one of the most violent rapes the state has seen in some time?” [/b]

Because he has no criminal record and is innocent until proven guilty. [/quote]

There are many people with no record and all charges are innocent until proven guilty. What’s the point of bond then?[/quote]

The point of bond is to create an incentive for people to show back up to court and not flee before their next appearance. It's a way to encourage compliance with the justice system while not making people who are presumed innocent stay incarcerated (thus losing jobs and child custody and other important things) while awaiting trial.
