Rose is currently out on bond. In April, the Beadle County States Attorney’s office requested the bond be revoked, based on additional information the office received. A judge ruled Rose could stay our of jail but a condition was added requiring Rose to stay away from the Splash Central waterpark in Huron. Rose’s trial on the charges is set for October 23^rd. All of the charges faced by Rose are felony charges. Rose could face a maximum of life in prison if convicted
