The former pastor and school authority President Bobby Hawk will not have any criminal charges

Kansas City, Mo. – Two women are upset after they learned that Bobby Hawk, a former president of the school authority of Pastor and Blue Springs, were not criminal charges because of what the women claimed was inappropriate by Hawk.

Jackson County's public prosecutor, Melesa Johnson, gave the announcement on Wednesday and explained that the limitation period prevents her from filing charges against Hawk.

The case began last summer when a woman said Hawk allegedly cultivated her in his church when she was 12 years old.

KSHB 41 -ancher/Investigator Caitlin Knute interviewed women who reported and claimed last year and claimed that they were victims of Hawk.

Knute spoke to women on Wednesday about the decision not to pursue Hawk.

“We definitely spoke,” said Destiny Bounds. “As if we all just feel that we are really shocked. Yes, I mean, not even 24 hours and I think some of us try to process. What is our next step? What is our next steps? I mean, yesterday we reacted.

Ali Terwillger said to Knute that she had not been made aware of the decision and got a text with the news while she was coffee with friends.

“My heart has just fallen,” said Terwilliger.

The women planned to submit a civil lawsuit against HAWK last year, but was waiting for the criminal investigation to be completed.

Johnson said her office would reopen the case if they were given new evidence.

Terwillger said she did not regret that she regretted her history last year about what HAWK supposedly done to her.

“I don't regret it at all,” she said. “I will absorb the pain and take the difficulties because these women are worth fighting for it and their stories are important.”

The Independence Examiner reported for the first time about news that no fees were submitted.
