7. Trends and/or Concerns

Sexual Abuse cases in CPS are up
Sexual Abuse cases in LE are up
Concerns about bond:

-Discussed a case situation (maintained confidentiality of the minor) pertaining to a minor who disclosed and is now more fearful as a result of the perpetrator having low bond and being released.

-Discussed concerns about media articles and the possibility of doing trauma-informed articles/pictures
-Could bring bond concerns to elected representatives; bond shortcomings are a state-wide issue

Criminal trials booking out to December; courts are working to hear backlog even if double-booked between branches
Hope House numbers show a possibility of missed SA cases for adults/juveniles; request for LE if able, to get numbers on cases for Hope House to be able to cross-reference

-Sabol asked if school counselors should reach out to Hope House

-Hope House sexual assault program is separate from domestic violence
