Expert Weighs In: OCDA Ignoring Legal Protections for Domestic Violence Survivors

Nadeya Lavandero, Founder and Executive Director of Right to Protect, a court-qualified domestic violence expert, weighed in on Grossman’s case:

“Any notice made upon OCDA by a victim fleeing domestic violence or child abuse should satisfy the requirements under Penal Code § 278.7.”

“It is not the victim’s responsibility to ensure the DA’s Office processes a Good Cause Waiver.”

“In Tawny Minna Grossman’s case, OCDA has refused to implement legal protections, instead weaponizing the system against her. Their prosecutorial discretion has been abused to punish rather than protect, sending a terrifying message to victims that seeking safety will result in criminal prosecution rather than legal refuge.”
