An Oakland man will stand trial on sexual abuse charges after his motion to dismiss charges was denied Monday.
James Raborn, 26, has been charged with two felony counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist, two misdemeanor counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist as well as single misdemeanor counts of dissemination or exhibition of obscene materials to minors and purchase or possession of a depiction of a minor in a sex act.
If convicted of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist, a Class D felony, Raborn could receive up to five years in prison on each count.
On March 23, Raborn’s attorney, Jordan Glaser, filed a motion to dismiss the charges. In April, Fourth Judicial District Chief Judge Jeffrey Larson heard arguments from Glaser and prosecutor Shelly Sudmann on the motion.
