GREENVILLE â Sexual assault charges against a Greenville husband and wife were dismissed Dec. 23 during a preliminary hearing before District Judge Brian Arthur.
The charges against Dallas G. Oliver II, 43, and Rebecca Lynn Oliver, 41, stemmed from allegations made by an 18-year-old student to the Greenville-West Salem Police Department.
On Nov. 3, a guidance counselor at Greenville High School contacted the school resource officer, Cpl. Wesley Carson, about the allegations, after receiving a call from the studentâs mother.
Dallas Oliver was charged with assault, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, and two counts of indecent assault. Rebecca Lynn Oliver was charged with assault and indecent assault. The Herald reported the charges on Dec. 8.

Coastal destruction is no laughing matter
The storm surges and inundation being experienced in southern Queensland are a result of more intense storms arising from climate change coinciding with a king tide. Scientists have been warning of this for decades, a consequence of global warming driven by too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Not only have these warnings been ignored, but Peter Dutton famously joked about the inundation concerns from our Pacific island neighbours. Are they daring to laugh now?

The state’s clinical information sharing bill appears to be common sense to me (‘‘Planned health database ‘trashes privacy’’’, The Sunday Age, 6/12) .
Whenever you enter hospital for a procedure, you are required to fill out lengthy admission forms that ask you extensive information about past illnesses and procedures and when they occurred as well as current medications. The older you get, the more extensive that list will be.
If the information was available on a database it would save a lot of time and effort on both the patient and the person collecting the data, apart from increasing the accuracy and reliability of the information collected.
