Calling all prosecutors and allied professionals! Connect with AEquitas Attorney Advisors and your peers every month to examine prosecution strategies, emerging issues, promising practices, and more.
Join us on October 30, 2025, for a discussion of Working with Victims who have Intellectual Disabilities with special guest Dr. Beverly Frantz, Adjunct Professor and Director of the Sexuality & Criminal Justice Project at the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University. This facilitated conversation will focus on 1) Dr. Frantz’s background and involvement in crimes of sexual violence against individuals with intellectual disabilities, 2) the most common “unknowns” prosecutors have in working with these victims and/or witnesses, and 3) useful information for a capacity evaluation.
If your office has been successful or faced challenges with sexual crimes against victims with intellectual disabilities, then this is the Office Hours for you! This is NOT a webinar, but a chance to meet our experts to converse, brainstorm, and share best practices or challenges in a national conversation. Please come ready to share your experience and strategies, as well as any questions you have for our AEquitas Attorney Advisors.
The discussion on October 30th will start at 2pm ET, and our panelists will be available to speak with you until 4pm.
