BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The Kern County District’s Office said U.S. Attorney Eric Grant and his team made a visit to Kern County. The visit comes as Assemblymember Dr. Jasmeet Bains requests intervention in the Zack Scrivner case.
Grant serves as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for the Eastern District of California, representing 34 counties across California.
In a social media post, it said, “Thank you to Mr. Grant and his colleagues for their time and commitment to discussing public safety in Kern County.”
Meanwhile, Assemblymember Dr. Jasmeet Bains (D-Delano) released a statement in response to the visit, emphasizing her request for intervention in the Zack Scrivner case:
I am encouraged that US Attorney Grant and his team are in town just weeks after I requested their intervention in the criminal case against Zach Scrivner. I am confident a federal review of the facts will support the filing of child molestation charges. These are the charges that should have been filed by the DOJ and would have prevented the abuse of mental health diversion that has occurred. I am hopeful local law enforcement will fully cooperate with a federal investigation as I prepare legislation to close this Epstein Loophole in the future.
