The Monroe children’s television star known as Mr. Wonder will have his day in court in February. Frank John Selas III, is facing child molestation charges from allegations that stem from a Rapides Parish camping trip in 1979. The now 77-year-old was arrested in 2016 in San Diego. Selas’ Attorney Mike Small wanted an earlier trial date than February 5th, but there were several extenuating circumstance.
Small says Selas remains in good spirits despite his time in jail over the last 21 months.
Selas has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including the two counts of aggravated rape. Small is confident his client will be found not guilty, because the now 45-year-old accuser has a criminal history.
A pretrial conference is scheduled for December 18.
