Former Deputy Kyle Yates Accused of Raping & Molesting Child

A former Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy accused of raping and molesting a child gave up his right to a speedy trial Thursday, allowing more time for his attorney to work on his defense.

Kyle Yates, 38, faces three charges of sexual battery on a minor under 12 years old and a charge each of lewd and lascivious molestation and distributing obscene materials to a minor. After being confronted with the accusations in July, investigators say he fled to Texas. He was arrested in November, authorities said.

Yates has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
