The son of a disgraced lawmaker has turned on his father for using an “Epstein loophole” to avoid spending time behind bars for allegedly touching children.
Speaking out for the first time, Robert Scrivner branded California’s mental health diversion law a “flawed system” after his father Zack dodged getting locked up.
“My own father, who is an elected official in Kern County, assaulted my siblings and myself and was granted mental health diversion,” Robert said during a press conference by State Senator Shannon Grove, who wants to rescind the loophole.
On Tuesday, Grove announced Senate Bill 1373, which would set limits on certain crimes for the mental health diversion law.
“My bill will ensure that those who commit violent crimes, such as attempted murder of a child, assault resulting in death and domestic violence, are no longer eligible for a mental health diversion program,” Grove said.
