Sex Assault Cases: Montana Officials Face Heat

In a shocking turn of events, two top officials from Montana are set to face the music tomorrow as they announce the handling of sexual assault cases in the state. Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division Jocelyn Samuels and U.S. Attorney for the District of Montana Michael Cotter will hold a press call to discuss the negotiated agreements.

According to sources, the agreements were reached after months of intense pressure from the public and advocacy groups. The officials will provide a detailed explanation of the agreements and the steps being taken to prevent similar cases in the future.

The press call is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, at 1:45 p.m. EDT (11:45 a.m. MDT). Reporters who are unable to attend in person the 1:00 p.m. EDT (11:00 a.m. MDT) press conference can dial in using the following number: 1-800-860-2442.

Participants will be asked for their name and media outlet, and press inquiries may be directed to the Office of Public Affairs at 202-514-2007.

Samuels and Cotter will address the public’s concerns and provide transparency regarding the handling of sexual assault cases in Montana. This move comes as a major step towards reform and accountability.

The negotiated agreements mark a significant shift in the way the state handles sex assault cases, and it remains to be seen how effective these changes will be in preventing future cases.
