Today, the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office withdrew the criminal complaint charging Rhett R. Hintze with failure to report or refer suspected child abuse. After communicating with the parties involved, the District Attorney determined that the prosecution was not in the public interest. Law enforcement authorities consulted with the family of the victims of the pertinent child abuse. The victims are now adults. The victims and the victims’ families requested the withdrawal of the charges. In addition to consideration of the victims’ request, the District Attorney examined the circumstances of the defendant. Rhett Hintze has no criminal history. The District Attorney’s Office is now communicating with officials from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to set up trainings regarding sexual abuse and reporting options and to ensure that information about reporting options is prominently displayed throughout the Stake. The District Attorney thanks the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its commitment to ensuring that this information is distributed to its members.
