Silence from Gov. Cuomo on Sex Offender Scandal

Governor Andrew Cuomo has failed to protect vulnerable women and children from sexual predators within his agencies

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration are placing convicted sex offenders in group homes with the developmentally disabled

Governor Cuomo and agency heads involved remain silent, they appear to be out of control and have no regard for the safety or equal rights of 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities.”
— Michael Carey - Civil Rights & Disability Rights Advocate

ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 26, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Jonathan Carey Foundation was established by civil rights and disability rights advocate Michael Carey to protect our most vulnerable, which includes all people with disabilities. Thousands of people with developmental disabilities are being sexually assaulted and raped within New York State’s extremely dangerous mental health agencies and group homes and rarely are there ever any criminal prosecutions. The cover-ups are happening all of the time because Governor Cuomo has directed the internal reporting of sexual assaults and the bypassing of 911 call systems and local police. The State’s MO, if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen. The cover-ups of sexual assaults and rapes are massive in scope.

On top of almost all sexual assaults and rapes of our most vulnerable being covered-up, Governor Cuomo and his agencies are unconscionably placing convicted sex offenders in these State and private facilities and group homes. The Commissioners of the Department of Corrections and the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities and anyone else involved are directly endangering the safety and welfare of incompetent individuals.

Governor Andrew Cuomo is ultimately in charge, these are his mental health agencies that are rampant with sexual assaults and rape. These agencies operate almost identically to the Catholic Church. These illegal practices must be immediately stopped.

New York State penal law 260.25 says it is a felony criminal offense to Endanger the Welfare of an Incompetent or Physically Disabled Person.

“A person is guilty of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person in the first degree when he knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a person who is unable to care for himself or herself because of physical disability, mental disease or defect.

Endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person in the first degree is a class E felony.”

Other state and federal laws require safe living environments for all individuals with disabilities that are free from abuse and neglect.

These statements were just released by New York State Senator Rob Ortt who is also the Mental Health Committee Chairman;

“According to the report, these sex offenders are being placed in homes without notice, raising concerns about how widespread this occurrence may be.”

“This practice must stop immediately,” said Ortt. “In no circumstance should the most vulnerable members of our society be placed in the same home as individuals convicted of preying on the vulnerable. The Level of government incompetence displayed here is astonishing.”

Governor Cuomo and agency heads involved remain silent, they appear to be out of control and have no regard for the safety or equal rights of 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities. It is time for the top officials involved in these criminal cover-ups of rapes and deaths and the placement of sex offenders with the disabled which are civil rights atrocities to be investigated by federal authorities, indicted and held fully accountable for their crimes.

If you would like to help advocate and protect our most vulnerable and help fight to end this extreme corruption, please consider making a tax deductible gift to the Jonathan Carey Foundation. Thank you.
