(KGET) \u2014 A hearing on the Zack Scrivner case \u2014 including a motion for mental health diversion recently filed by defense counsel \u2014 is scheduled for Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">17 News will live blog the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The former county supervisor, 51, is charged with multiple felonies: three counts of child cruelty and two counts of illegally possessing an assault rifle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The motion seeking diversion has been sealed and no details have been made public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Generally speaking, such motions, if granted, require defendants to undergo a treatment program and abide by court-ordered terms. If they fulfill all terms and stay out of trouble, the case is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A criminal complaint filed by the state Attorney General\u2019s Office says Scrivner took mind-altering substances on the evening of April 23, 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He got in bed with and sexually penetrated a child, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It also says he illegally possessed an AK-47 style rifle and an AR-15 style rifle. The Attorney General\u2019s Office is handling the case because Scrivner is the nephew of Kern County District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
