Charges against Cassen Jackson-Garrison, standing at right, a former Oak Ridge Police Department police officer, were dismissed this year after two years of supervised probation. Jackson-Garrison had agreed to plead guilty to statutory rape and official misconduct in 2017. His attorney, Greg Isaacs, standing next to Jackson-Garrison, said Jackson-Garrison had accepted responsibility for the allegations, and he compared his client’s childhood story to the one portrayed in the movie “The Blind Side.” The probation was a judicial diversion, allowing the felony charges to be dismissed if Jackson-Garrison complied with the terms and conditions. Jackson-Garrison and Isaacs are pictured above during a plea agreement hearing in Anderson County Criminal Court on Monday, June 12, 2017. (File photo by John Huotari/Oak Ridge Today)

A new facility with services for victims of elder abuse, domestic abuse, sexual assault and exploitation has opened in Oak Ridge. It s more than a place. It s a philosophy, Anderson County District Attorney General Dave Clark said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He said the facility will help our most tender victims in their darkest hour.
The center is at 301 Broadway Avenue, Unit 1A, with offices on the top story of a building that features a recent mural.
Melissa Miller, the family justice center s executive director, said the various agencies and law enforcement groups were already offering the services the family justice center will offer, but the new center puts them under one roof. She called it a one stop shop for these victims.
