Jury selection resumes today in the sexual assault trial of an Allendale man. 52-year-old Adam Vaira is charged with two Class X felony charges of predatory criminal sexual assault and four Class 2 felony charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a family member under 18. Vaira was arrested last May 5th. The charges stem from alleged incidents that occurred between May of 2000 and January of 2007 with victims between 13 and 17 years old. During the first day of jury selection yesterday, eight jurors were seated. Vaira has been free on a $30,000 cash bond since he turned himself in to authorities on May 5th of last year.
