The Montgomery County district attorney’s office is feeling the effects of losing its five victims advocates.
Several years ago, the district attorney’s office was able to hire five victims advocates with a federal grant though the Victims of Crime Act. This position has proven critical for victims and their families navigating the criminal justice system.
Bailey said with the grant funding now gone and no alternative funding source, they were forced to let all five of their victims advocates go. This comes at a time when Bailey says they are needed the most.
