That's what I thought. Over New Year's Eve, I did the research and that's exactly what the statute entails. We have been getting the run around big time. The Victim's Advocate doesn't return calls unless the Attorney General is involved. The first time I emailed him, we got a call from the VA in 4 days. Hmmm, coincidence? I think not. He told Irene to call the Adult Probation. Ask for his probation officer. While she couldn't discuss the whereabouts of the jerk, which I know are the laws, she said we'd have to get a sheriff to have him served. No one is gonna lead a wild goose chase looking for some guy that's destitute. That takes $$$$$$$. Irene and Joanne don't have it. It's not that we expect the money, cuz we know he doesn't have it. We just want to keep his name and face in the spotlight.

Anyway, we have been hitting MAJOR roadblocks and I'm sure that's illegal. I read the statutes. Victims have the right to seek restitution from the criminals. Unfortunately, they've got a protective barrier around this idiot.

*sigh*

Johanna,

Thanks for the advice. It's basically the same here in CT.
