Harrisburg, Pa. â After a more than year-long investigation, state ethics investigators have found that Pennsylvaniaâs former chief advocate for crime victims did not trade on her high-profile public position to benefit her personal business ventures.
Jennifer Storm, the stateâs onetime victim advocate, did agree to two technical violations of the state Ethics Act, closing out an inquiry she believes was instigated by political enemies as payback for her outspoken advocacy in prominent cases.
Under that agreement, Storm must amend her annual statements of financial interest and pay a $3,000 fine for failing to disclose airfare, lodging, or income associated with two conferences she attended in 2017 and 2018, as well as rental income, according to a copy of the State Ethics Commissionâs report, which has not yet been publicly released.
