Assistant State’s Attorneys Lindsey Carpenter and Brett Engler are attending the JuST Conference this week in Cincinnati. The conference is a sequence of events hosted by Shared Hope International that shed light on juvenile sex trafficking. With speakers, thought leaders, and individuals passionate about activism, JuST events provide practical knowledge and actionable responses to raise awareness and work to end trafficking in local communities.
Tonight the Frederick County Child Advocacy Center, Frederick County State’s Attorney Office, the Frederick Police Department, and Associate Professor Dr. Heather Pfeifer of the University of Baltimore-School of Criminal Justice collaborated for the Hidden Crime event. The forum offered information on how to recognize, respond to, and prevent child sexual abuse.
