This story about the woman who went to a public meeting of Lower Merion township supervisors to allege she'd been sexually assaulted by a township police officer is a bit strange.
It certainly would have been better and smarter for her to have gone to the Montgomery County DAs office to lodge her complaint. No doubt that is where it will end up. Even though the office is all the way up in Norristown a simple phone call would have gotten the ball rolling.
It's certainly possible that the woman in question isn't very sophisticated in the ways of reporting crimes and she didn't know what else to do. But somebody should have advised her that a township meeting was not the best place to air her complaint.
It will be interesting to see where it all goes from here.
