SEN. CABRERA STATEMENT ON INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO BETHANY ABUSE SCANDAL

BETHANY – State Senator Jorge Cabrera (D-Hamden), the state senator representing the seven towns of the 21st Senate District (including Bethany), issued the following statement today on the release of a 229-page report on the Investigation into the Town of Bethany’s Response to the Alleged Sexual Abuse of Minors Enrolled in the Parks and Recreation Summer and After-School Programs by the Law Firm of Pullman & Comley, LLC.

“This report details a massive failure by First Selectman Paul Cofrancesco and an inexplicable lack of action by state police. Our children look to the adults in their lives to protect them, and the adult leadership in Bethany failed them.”
