A Federal Judge Has Scheduled A Phone Hearing For June 24 Before Deciding On A Proposed 4.2 Million Dollar Settlement Involving Johnson City Police. The Case Stems From A Class Action Lawsuit Brought By Women Who Claimed Their Sexual Assault Reports Weren’t Properly Investigated Between 2018 And 2022. This Is Separate From A 28 Million Dollar Agreement Already Reached With Nine Original Plaintiffs Connected To Convicted Sex Offender Sean Williams. The Class Action Focuses On Systemic Issues Identified In The Daigle Report, Including Bias In Jcpd’s Response To Sexual Assault Cases. Johnson City Denies Any Wrongdoing But Says It Has Implemented Reforms.
