Meet Community Partnership Prosecutor Cheryl Sueing-Jones, who has worked for the DA’s Office for more than 20 years. In that role, Cheryl engages in long-term proactive partnerships with the community, with law enforcement and with public and private organizations to build reciprocal relationships of trust. She conducts trainings, community forums, town halls and public safety workshops intended to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for residents. “My position provides a platform to listen to the community, address concerns, correct misconceptions and educate the public about crime prevention initiatives,” she said. “It is my honor and privilege to collaborate with the community and our office to promote equity, diversity and inclusion.” [TWEET THIS]

Why did you come to work at the District Attorney’s Office?

“I decided to work for the DA’s office because I wanted to be a trial lawyer, to bring justice to victims of crime and to be a voice to the most vulnerable. I have stayed here for nearly a quarter of a century because I have had many opportunities to fulfill those missions in an office that is on the frontline of positive change and is committed to improving criminal justice and race relations inside and outside of the office. I am always proud when I have the opportunity to stand and say ‘Cheryl Sueing-Jones for the people.’”

Why is Black History Month important to you?

“Over the last several months our country has experienced a transformational moment in race relations and demands for racial justice have reached a fever pitch,” Sueing-Jones said. “Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by death and job losses from COVID-19. The killing of George Floyd and others ignited long-term historic trauma that is rooted in racism and exposed the systemic inequities that continue despite the many contributions African Americans have made to every aspect of American culture. While we were relieved to see 2020 in the rearview mirror, 2021 arrived with an attack on the US Capitol following the election of the first Black Vice President, Kamala Harris, a woman, my sorority sister, Hastings classmate and fellow graduate of a historically Black college. During this time of division, it is important to not only remember our history, but to also celebrate our new examples of black excellence. Black History Month is important to me because it represents an opportunity to shine a light upon the best in African American culture and to keep the spirit of Black Lives Matter alive.” [TWEET THIS]

Beware of COVID-19 Vaccine Scams

Criminals are using the COVID-19 emergency to steal personal and medical information from people across the country, especially the most vulnerable, the elderly population.

Please be vigilant of scams that are attempting to steal your personal information and your money. You should not respond to unsolicited requests to conduct COVID-19 testing, obtain a COVID-19 vaccine, or provide your personal and medical information.

BEWARE OF COVID-19 VACCINE SCAMS:

  • Be vigilant and protect yourself from potential fraud concerning COVID-19 vaccines. You will not be asked for money to enhance your ranking for vaccine eligibility. Government and State officials will not call you to obtain personal information in order to receive the vaccine, and you will not be solicited door to door to receive the vaccine.
  • Beneficiaries should be cautious of unsolicited requests for their personal, medical, and financial information. Medicare will not call beneficiaries to offer COVID-19 related products, services, or benefit review.
  • Be suspicious of any unexpected calls or visitors offering COVID-19 tests or supplies. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately.
  • Do not respond to, or open hyperlinks in, text messages or emails about COVID-19 from unknown individuals.
  • Ignore offers or advertisements for COVID-19 testing or treatments on social media sites. If you make an appointment for a COVID-19 test online, make sure the location is an official testing site.
  • Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone claiming to offer HHS grants related to COVID-19.
  • Be aware of scammers pretending to be COVID-19 contact tracers. Legitimate contact tracers will never ask for your Medicare number, financial information, or attempt to set up a COVID-19 test for you and collect payment information for the test.
  • If you believe you have been the victim of COVID-19 fraud, immediately report it to 1-800-HHS-TIPS or visit tips.hhs.gov.

Children Exposed to Trauma Handled with Care with Care by School

When children encounter police because they were a witness to violence or a traumatic event, they can sometimes show up to school the next few days feeling upset, setting off a cycle of poor school performance or acting out, whether in school in person or virtually. Unless a teacher knows the student experienced recent trauma, the child could end up in trouble instead of receiving support. The District Attorney’s Office, the San Diego County Office of Education, local law enforcement and local school districts are addressing this issue through an app called ‘Handle with Care,’ which was developed just before the pandemic shuttered schools. [TWEET THIS]

Under the new program, when police come into contact with a child during a traumatic event such as domestic violence in the home, a neighborhood shooting, arrest of a family member or violent crime, police use the app to alert the child’s school and school district that the child should be handled with care. No other details about the incident are given to the school.

“Children who experience trauma in the home often don’t complete homework, do poorly on tests, and are withdrawn,” District Attorney Summer Stephan said “This pilot program is a simple way we can alert teachers and school administrators and provide important context so they can monitor the child’s behavior and provide support if necessary.” [TWEET THIS]

The program, which has been endorsed by the San Diego County Office of Education, began as a pilot program in Chula Vista with the Chula Vista Police Department, the Chula Vista Elementary School District and Sweetwater Union High School District. Now, the program is also being implemented in El Cajon by Cajon Valley School District and the El Cajon Police Department.  Other police agencies and school districts in San Diego County have expressed an interest in implementing the program and training is already underway to continue to expand the program to support students countywide.

The District Attorney’s Information Technology Department wrote the code for the secure app, which may be loaded onto the law enforcement phones and computers

After police have had contact with a child, the ‘Handle with Care’ notice is sent to the child’s school and school district. The goal is then to notify the child’s teacher before school starts. While the notification is given to the student’s teacher it is not part of the child’s permanent record. Teachers have received trauma-informed training and resources, and the alert does not mean that the child will be approached by the teacher. Instead, the alert is meant to give the teacher an understanding of why the student may not have completed homework, may be tired, or be acting out. Watch the Handle with Care video, here.

“Trauma can undermine children’s ability to learn, form relationships, and function appropriately in the classroom, whether virtually or in person, said Francisco Escobedo, Superintendent of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. “Given the turbulent nature of our times, we are facing unprecedented levels of life-changing events. The Handle with Care Program will provide improved communication, compassionate engagement, and teacher sensitivity.”

When children do poorly in school, get into trouble and don’t attend class as much, they are more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. During the pandemic, participating schools are using the notifications to check-in with students and offer additional support and resources dependent on the child’s circumstances.

“We can change the course of a traumatized student’s life by being trauma informed and giving them support instead of punitive measures,” said Chula Vista Police Chief Roxana Kennedy.

The San Diego County Office of Education has provided training materials on how to use a trauma-sensitive lens when dealing with students, which includes what behavior to be alert for and what to say in response.

“When teachers have this knowledge, they can build a climate of caring in which students are more apt to feel safe, valued, and more likely to learn,” said Paul Gothold, the County Superintendent of Schools. “We’re proud to be part of this work and look forward to expanding Handle with Care.” [TWEET THIS]

Human Trafficking Threats Online for Minors and Resources Survivors

San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan urges parents to be more aware of increased online dangers children face amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and urged parents to take steps to prevent young people from becoming victims of human trafficking. The DA also reminded survivors of human trafficking that there are important resources available to help them move forward with their lives. The warning comes during National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, which is held each January.

[TWEET THIS]

The most common way victims are trafficked in San Diego County is online, through social media and gaming apps, an issue that is concerning especially now that children are spending more time than ever online due to school closures related to COVID-19. Reports of technology-based exploitation have tripled at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Local reports have also increased – in 2019, the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) received 3,058 cyber tips and in 2020 the numbers almost doubled to 5,885.

“Pre-pandemic, we could count on teachers and other school mandated reporters to notice some of the signs that a student is being abused at home or sexually exploited by a trafficker and to report to law enforcement,” said District Attorney Summer Stephan. “Now that children are stuck mostly at home, it’s up to the parents, guardians and responsible adults to help children understand the risks they may face online and make them feel comfortable reporting suspicious recruitment and enticement or victimization. There are tools to help parents and kids understand the threat from traffickers and abusers in order to prevent harm to our children.  The San Diego Trafficking Prevention Collective is a private-public partnership with the mission of protecting students by building knowledge has converted many resources on line at SanDiegoTPC.org,  and the San Diego Regional Human Trafficking Task Force has been working around the clock to safeguard our kids from human trafficking.”

The DA is also reminding survivors of human trafficking that there is now a legal path for them to clear their record. The San Diego DA’s Office worked with the Office of the Public Defender, legal services providers and the Courts to implement a criminal vacatur law, which is a new form of post-conviction relief that allows human trafficking survivors to clear non-violent criminal charges related to their exploitation. The vacatur law is codified under California Penal Code 236.14, and since it went into effect, the San Diego Superior Court has granted 15 vacatur petitions, creating new life paths for human trafficking survivors.

“Having a criminal record is a huge barrier for human trafficking survivors to move forward with their lives and get a fresh start,” said District Attorney Summer Stephan. “These survivors have trouble getting jobs, securing housing and completing their education which makes them a target for further exploitation. We want victims and survivors to know that we have created a trauma informed system in San Diego County working with the Public Defender and organizations like Free To Thrive to streamline their vacatur petitions and fairly and expeditiously handle them.”

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, online predators have unprecedented access to kids through everyday scrolling on new apps, social media, online gaming and distance learning. With so much dependence on technology and the web, children are increasingly at risk of befriending strangers online.

“Due to COVID-19 causing our children to attend school virtually and engage socially online, it is more important than ever for parents to vigilantly review their children’s computer and cellular phone activities,” said Sergeant Garrick Nugent from ICAC. “To a child or teenager, connecting with someone through social networks, games, or messaging becomes as real as any other relationship, even though they have never met in person – to the point they call the online persona their boyfriend, girlfriend or best friend. Parents need to realize how important this relationship is to their child and must take steps to both understand this and stay involved in their child’s internet activity, including texting, messaging apps, games and social networks.”

Based on the investigative work conducted by the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force, traffickers are commonly using various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, to locate, communicate and recruit potential victims of human trafficking.

“Most of the time, traffickers will create a profile that depicts a life of luxury,” said Commander Geanie Franco of the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force. “They will have pictures of themselves with large amounts of cash, jewelry, and other high valued merchandise. Traffickers will then target vulnerable victims, typically by direct message, and begin to recruit them by promising to better their life by increasing their social economic standing and/or build a meaningful intimate relationship with them. Once the trafficker gains the trust of the potential victim, they will then turn that trust against them and exploit them for the trafficker’s own financial gain. Occasionally, traffickers will ask potential victims to send them sexually explicit photos of themselves through social media for the trafficker to use to post online prostitution advertisements.”

Red flags and behavior by children that parents should be taken seriously include:

  • Secretive behavior with online activities.
  • Hiding what is on their computer screens.
  • Out of sight or behind a closed door when online.
  • Vague talk of making new friends with little to no details.
  • Agitated behavior when answering their phone or needing to take calls in private.
  • Sneaking out of the house or being untruthful about who they are with and where they have been.
  • Attempting to look older with clothing or makeup.
  • Unexplained expensive gifts, money or clothing.

What can parents and guardians do to keep their children safe?

  • Review and approve games and apps before they are downloaded.
  • Make sure privacy settings are set to the strictest level possible for online gaming systems, phones and other devices.
  • Monitor your child’s use of the Internet and keep computers in a non-private room.
  • Explain that images posted online most likely will remain on the internet permanently. You’re in control before you press “send” – but once you press send, you’re not.
  • Teach your child about personal boundaries and awareness of their surroundings.
  • Encourage open child-parent communication around Internet safety. Encourage them to tell a trusted adult if something does not feel right.

To report an online exploitation type crime against an unknown child, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. To report a crime against your child, involving the internet or other electronical means, please contact your local law enforcement agency. If you have questions about Internet Crimes Against Children, prevention or suspicions, please contact the SDICAC Task Force at 858-715-7100.If you suspect human trafficking, you can contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at (888) 373-7888 or text “HELP” or “INFO” to BEFREE (233733).

If you or someone you know is a survivor of human trafficking and would like help clearing their record of non-violent crimes related to their exploitation, you can contact Free To Thrive at (619) 693-6391 or the Public Defender’s Office Fresh Start Program via email at Fresh.Start@sdcounty.ca.gov.

Keeping Children Safe Online

As our world becomes more dependent on technology and the web, especially now with distance learning due to COVID-19, children are increasingly at risk of befriending strangers online.

Educators often act as law enforcement’s eyes and ears, noticing some of the signs that a student is being abused at home or sexually exploited by a trafficker.

Just because kids are not physically in school during this COVID-19 crisis, does not mean they aren’t at risk of being recruited into the dangerous world of human trafficking.

Now that students are all spending more time online, they are a captive audience for would-be traffickers making contact on social media, which means we have to expand our efforts to educate them to prevent them from falling victim to predators.

Our concern is that students are more susceptible than ever to sexual exploitation because teachers and school staff aren’t able to make the same observations as they would in person.

In fact, reports of technology-based exploitation have tripled to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is hard to communicate with kids on sex/abuse topics but it is worth the effort to educate and protect kids.

Signs are not always present but they often are if parents/guardians know what to look for.

What are Potential signs that your child may not be safe online?

These red flags are common with some adolescents that should be taken seriously:

  • Their teenager or child may be acting secretive of their online activities
  • Hiding what is on their computer screens
  • Out of sight or behind a closed door when online
  • Vague talk of making new friends with little to no details
  • Agitated behavior when answering their phone or needing to take calls in private
  • Sneaking out of the house and/or untruthful about who with/where
  • Dressing/wearing make-up to look older
  • They get home late
  • Unexplained expensive gifts/money/clothes

What can parents/guardians do to protect children online?

Parents/guardians are also on the frontlines when it comes to all forms of child abuse and exploitation, whether online or in person – children and adolescents often do not feel vulnerable or understand and appreciate what risks they may face form online or in person victimization.

Parents must communicate with children and teach them trust but at the same time know what their children are doing online and who they are communicating both online and in person.

FBI Recommendations to Parents:

  • Review and approve games and apps before they are downloaded.
  • Make sure privacy settings are set to the strictest level possible for social media, online gaming systems, phones and other devices.
  • Monitor your child’s use of the internet and keep computers in a non-private room.
  • Explain to your child that images posted online most likely will remain on the internet permanently.
  • Teach your child about personal boundaries and awareness of their surroundings.
  • Encourage open child-parent communication around internet safety.

DA Opposes Parole for Murder-for-Hire Killer

San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said today that her office is opposing parole for Laura Troiani, 59, who was convicted in 1984 for hiring five U.S. Marines to kill her husband, 37-year-old Carlo Troiani. At the time, Ms. Troiani was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, but Governor Jerry Brown commuted her sentence in 2018 to 35 years-to-life. In June 2019 at her initial parole hearing, she was denied parole for three years. Her next hearing was subsequently advanced by the Board of Parole Hearings to January 22, 2021. [TWEET THIS]

Troiani masterminded an elaborate conspiracy to murder her husband. She recruited the Marines to help her accomplish the murder by promising them a portion of the life insurance money she would collect once her husband was dead. They initially tried to kill Carlo Troiani with a knife by sneaking up on him and a second time by trying to blow up his car, but both attempts were unsuccessful. Incredibly, neither of the initial murder attempts raised suspicions. The first attempt with a knife was abandoned when the perpetrators saw people as they were heading into his apartment and called the plan off. In the second attempt, the victim found a wire running from his spark plug to his gas tank and thought his troops were playing a prank on him.

Ultimately, Carlo Troiani was ambushed on an empty road in Oceanside after Ms. Troiani lured him there, where two of the hired Marines shot him in the back. Ms. Troiani tried to cover up the murder by calling the police and reporting her husband missing after he had been shot and left to die in a remote area of Oceanside.

The Parole Board hearing is set for Friday, January 22 at 8:30 a.m. at the California Institution for Women in Chino, Calif.

“This cold-blooded execution of Carlo Troiani, masterminded by his wife, shook San Diego and the military community,” DA Summer Stephan said. “Family and friends of the murder victim counted on justice in the form of a lifetime prison sentence for this calculated killing. But what they got was more suffering as the sentence was reduced. We’re committed to being a voice for victims at the upcoming hearing and continuing to hold Ms. Troiani responsible for her crimes.”

Troiani’s 2019 parole was denied was based on lack of insight, her minimizing her role in the crime, and a lack of remorse. [TWEET THIS]

EDD logo: Nine Inmates Charged in Unemployment Scam

Nine Inmates Charged in Unemployment Scam

District Attorney Summer Stephan today announced criminal charges against nine defendants who made fraudulent claims, scammed the state’s unemployment benefit system and received more than $160,000 in illegal payments. The fraud occurred between June and September of last year. The defendants lied about their eligibility and addresses on their EDD application forms, and also violated state prison rules about applying for public aid. [TWEET THIS]

All of the inmates were assigned to a program in San Diego that allows qualified state prison inmates to serve the final months of their sentences in a halfway house setting. The Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) requires that inmates adhere to rules of the program, including the requirement they not apply for or collect any public aid, including EDD and unemployment funds.

“These inmates were not only breaking the rules and gaming the system, they added insult to injury for families relying on legitimate unemployment benefits to make ends meet during the ongoing pandemic,” DA Summer Stephan said. “While this CDCR investigation and our subsequent prosecution reveal a significant scam, we believe the amount of fraud committed by inmates in San Diego County could total as much as $5 million and we have just begun to hold these, and other inmates accountable for their crimes.”

The defendants are Ronald Davenport, 28; Zachary Frost, 31; Larry Van Johnson, 51; Daniel Eric Kisner, 42; Paul Ryan Owens, 41; Louis Terrell Bannister, 31; Erik Mikeal Nemec, 32; Roberto Ochoa, 27; and Javion Wallace, 26.  Each are charged with Conspiracy, Grand Theft, and Making False Statements for Unemployment Benefits. If convicted of all the charges, each defendant faces up to three years and eight months in prison.

Eight defendants have been arrested on the new charges, four of which remain in custody at RJ Donovan Correctional Facility. Arrest warrants have been issued for the remaining defendant. At present, four defendants are scheduled for arraignment on May 20, 2021.

CDCR MCRP-SD Supervisor and Agents assigned to the MCRP-SD investigated inmates receiving luxury items from Amazon, as well as food deliveries from restaurants. Inmates had downloaded mobile banking applications on their cell phones which revealed they each had access to large amounts of money. None of the inmates were employed. Some inmates were even electronically transferring money to one another. CDCR special agents assigned to the Special Service Unit and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested all persons involved.

“This operation is the result of collaboration with partner agencies at the local and state level, and solid investigative work by our staff,” said Kathleen Allison, Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. “Defrauding hard working Californians of their benefits is not, and will not be, tolerated on any level. We will continue to ensure we are doing everything we can to hold those responsible accountable.”

In mid-November 2020, CDCR Investigators concluded their fraud investigation and determined that each inmate had been receiving verified EDD funds fraudulently. Each conspired with and assisted numerous other incarcerated persons to fraudulently gain access to EDD funds totaling $166,132.

“These despicable acts of fraud divert attention and resources away from providing assistance to those who really need it to manage through this catastrophic pandemic,” said Rita Saenz, Director of the California Employment Development Department. “We will continue to remain vigilant against fraud and are truly thankful for the combined resources and collaboration between agencies to investigate and prosecute those responsible.”

Last month, DA Stephan joined eight other District attorneys on a joint letter to Governor Gavin Newsom, warning the problem of EDD fraud problem could “grow exponentially.” Among their requests, the letter asked for legislation that would allow future cross-matching of data between correctional facilities and the Employment Development Department (EDD). Officials estimate jail and prison inmates have fraudulently collected unemployment benefits that appear to have cost California taxpayers at least $400 million. [TWEET THIS]

DA and US Attorney Warn Against Violent Protests

U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer and San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said today their offices will not tolerate violence during inauguration-related protests and will work closely with federal, state, and local partners to aggressively pursue those involved in criminal activity at such events in San Diego and Imperial counties. [TWEET THIS]

The FBI has received information indicating “armed protests” are being planned in all 50 states and the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20.

“We are issuing the strongest warning possible to anyone who is planning violence in connection with the inauguration,” Brewer said. “If you repeat the despicable behavior we saw at the Capitol last week, and if you disrespect our great democracy by bringing harm to people or property in a display of hatred and rage, the consequences will be swift and strong. You will be found, and you will be charged. Don’t let that become part of your story.”

“I want to be clear that my office will prosecute those who break state laws when they choose violence, hate, assault or vandalism to harm our community—including attacks on fellow citizens and peace officers,” DA Stephan said. “I call on our community members to work hand in hand with law enforcement to keep our neighborhoods safe and to honor our democracy by reporting suspicious activity. If you see something, say something.”

Both U.S. Attorney Brewer and DA Stephan condemned the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol:

“Protesting is an inalienable right recognized by the U.S. Constitution; rioting is a crime,” DA Stephan said. “The insurrection that occurred in the U.S. Capitol last week was a despicable, anti-American attack on the democratic fabric of our nation. It’s a wakeup call that locally, we must work together to keep our community safe, including alerting law enforcement to the threat of violence.”

“The attack on Congress was a shameful and reprehensible affront to our democracy. Our Constitution protects the rights of free speech and assembly, but it does not protect mob violence, threats to harm public officials, assaults on law enforcement officers, or damage to government buildings,” said Brewer.

Anyone witnessing a crime in progress or immediate danger to the public should call 911. If you have witnessed unlawful violent actions, have any information about unlawful violent actions, or have information about the Capitol violence case, the FBI urges you to submit any information, photos, or videos that could be relevant at fbi.gov/USCapitol. You may also call ‪1-800-CALL-FBI (1-‪800-225-5324) to verbally report tips and/or information.  If you do not have an attachment but have information to provide, you can also submit your information at tips.fbi.gov.
