The fate of a McMinnville man accused of sexually assaulting an under-aged family friend is in the hands of the grand jury. Travis Dean Morrison, 36, had a preliminary hearing in General Sessions Court Tuesday afternoon on a charge of statutory rape by an authority figure. After the hearing, Judge Ryan J. Moore determined the prosecution sufficiently met the burden of proof necessary to send the case to the next session of the grand jury for possible indictment.
