Attorneys: Charges dropped against 2 girls in Rebecca Sedwick cyberbullying case

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd had his deputies arrest the girls in October on felony aggravated-stalking charges in a case that garnered national attention.

On Tuesday, an attorney for the younger girl, who turned 13 in October, had harsh words for Judd.

Jose Baez, speaking at a news conference outside his Orlando office, called the sheriff's conduct "unconscionable," "reckless" and "reprehensible" and criticized him for talking about the case on national television and distributing arrest photos of the girls.

I think that fact that they dropped the charges means this is being covered up.
