Cabinet Chief: Adjustments Needed Re College Sex-Crimes Accusations
On behalf of Rosenblum Schwartz & Fry posted in Sex Crimes on Thursday, September 21, 2017. Current U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos recently offered up comments on the issue of campus-based handling of sex-crimes cases at colleges and universities across the country. Her tone was emphatic, with the words she delivered being blunt and manifestly clear. “Survivors [of campus assaults] aren’t well served when they are re-traumatized with appeal after appeal because the failed system failed the accused,” she told an audience near the White House.

Facebook’s Move: Will It Dampen Internet Criminal Surveillance?
On behalf of Rosenblum Schwartz & Fry posted in Sex Crimes on Wednesday, April 12, 2017. Recent news accounts chronicle the potential for users’ privacy on the Internet to be materially eroded, if not outright eviscerated. Online privacy has emerged as a major public concern in recent years, as leaps-and-bounds surges in technology-fueled monitoring tools have put consumers front and center as exceedingly vulnerable targets of law enforcers’ surveillance efforts.
