Joe Khan, a democrat who gave the District Prosecutor of the Republican Ferry Jennifer Schorn, calls the procuration to convene a great jury to examine alleged abuse in the special education class at the Central Bucks of the School District.
“I am frustrated and disappointed with a lack of explanation for what is going on,” said Khan at a press conference on Monday.
Criticism of Khan took place after the report last week by Pragal Pa, who stated that the students were used by the teacher and educational assistant in the autistic support class at the Jamison Primary School.
The report also accused District Administrators of not investigating the appropriate examination and response to the allegations, first raised in November by a personal care assistant who said that the children were circumscribed, physically punished, without water, left naked for a long time and prevented the employ of speech devices.
While the district said that he did not find evidence of abuse, his investigation confirmed the assistant accusations of abuse, in accordance with the laws of disabled. However, the district incorrectly told the police that there was no abuse, the group said. The management of the Central Bucks school placed his curator, Steven Yanni, on vacation after the report.
On Monday, the Schorn decided not to prosecute the case.
“The Police Department in Warwick Township conducted a comprehensive investigation in this matter, and my office carried out a thorough review and came to the same conclusion: the facts do not confirm the criminal charges,” said Schorn in a statement.
Sorrn and the police in Warwick Township had earlier said earlier that the office of the Prosecutor General in Pennsylvania also conducted an investigation and agreed that criminal charges were not justified.
On Monday, Brett Hambright, spokesman for prosecutor general Dave Sunday, said that the office “received a referral from a state agency in this case. In addition to confirmation that we cannot comment on the ongoing investigation.”
Hambrights said that the investigation in the office has been going on since the referral was received and was not completed and then open again.
The allegations lit political tensions in Bucks, the last Purple in the Philadelphia region and the only one who voted for President Donald Trump last year. Republicans play five poviat offices, which are voting this year, while Democrats control the council of commissioners.
It is expected that the race for the District Prosecutor, in which Schorn and Khan are not contrary to the original parties, will be one of the most observed races in the suburbs of Philadelphia this fall.
Meanwhile, the Central Bucks School Council is controlled by Democrats; Jim Pepper, a lonely Republican, Jim Pepper, is a parent of one of the students in the Jamison class and said that most of the board is divided into taking action against people involved in the investigation in the matter of abuse.
Schorn, a longtime prosecutor at the office of the District Prosecutor, who replaced his colleague from Republican Matt Weintraub, criticized Khan – a former advocate of Bucks, who last year ran for prosecutor general – motivated by a political program.
“It’s unfortunate – but not surprising – that my opponent is trying to politicize this,” said Schorn on Monday. “He just lacks experience.”
She said that Khan “had not chased the use of children for at least 20 years” and never chased the matter in Bucks.
Schorn also said “the law strictly prohibits my office to disclose the details” of her investigation.
Khan accused Sorge of a lack of transparency in the Central Bucks case.
Khan said Sororn did not say what penalty allegations could be considered. He said that although “actual damage to children” is a crime, “there are also broader crimes that relate to people who threaten children’s prosperity”, they are involved in corruption of minors or do not report the suspicion of using children.
“If Da ended his investigation, we should know what these results are,” said Khan. He noticed that the management of the Central Bucks school ordered an external investigation paid by taxpayers, while “we all have more questions than answers about what the prosecutor is talking about when they describe it as an unplicitous matter.”
Khan said that the investigation into the great jury would be valuable, even if he did not recommend penalty allegations ultimately, because he can “grant recommendations regarding taking action.”
“Our children need their prosecutor’s office to stand behind them, even if it is difficult,” said Khan.
