A Pennsylvania district attorney has been charged with sexual assault and indecent assault in connection with alleged coerced sex acts with five women who were his clients when he was in private practice.
Bradford County District Attorney Chad Salsman was charged by a state investigative grand jury, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced Wednesday.
Law360, Law.com, the PhillyVoice and the Elmira Star-Gazette are among the publications that covered the charges.
Salsman won an election for district attorney in 2019. The outgoing district attorney referred the case against Salsman to Shapiro, according to the PhillyVoice.
