LOS ANGELES Mercedes Carrera and Daemon Cins were set to face a pre-trial hearing in child sex abuse charges Thursday, after remaining in jail for almost 23 months since their arrest. But for the ninth consecutive time, a judge granted a continuance in the case. The hearing is now scheduled for January 7, according to information from the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office.
The pre-trial hearing had already been postponed repeatedly since August 8 of 2019, when Carrera, a longtime performer in the adult industry, and Cins sat in a courtroom as prosecutors played a 75-minute audio recording of the alleged, nine-year-old victim in the case. Carrera, who denies the charges against her and along with Cins has entered pleas of not guilty, has publicly acknowledged that the girl making the accusations is her daughter.
