A | PHILADELPHIA -- A former Philadelphia police officer has been sentenced to 15 to 40 years in state prison after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting women and girls — often while in uniform and in the back of his police vehicle.Patrick Heron, 54, entered the pleas Friday after reaching an agreement with prosecutors in advance of a trial on more than 200 counts that included child sex assault, child pornography, kidnapping and related offenses, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.Jane Roh, spokesperson for the district attorney’s office, said victims who are now spared the trauma of a trial welcomed the guilty plea. Defense attorney Anthony List also said he hoped the plea would spare the victims the anguish of having to testify, and added “hopefully everyone can move on.”Heron, who retired from the force in 2019, was initially accused last year of posing as an active officer to lure girls. Investigators said they later found photos and videos indicating predatory behavior spanning years and including dozens of often vulnerable young women and girls including those who had run away, been arrested or struggled with addiction.Lyandra Retacco, chief of the prosecutors' special investigations unit, said the crimes occurred from 2005 through last year, and Heron met many victims while on the force. She said investigators have identified 48 victims, though many of their identities remain unknown, and more likely haven't come forward.。

B | (ECNS) -- Authorities in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, have launched an investigation into a local disinfection company accused of using a highly toxic pesticide to disinfect popular chain restaurants. According to the Beijing News, the company allegedly used dichlorvos, a toxic agricultural pesticide, to provide routine disinfection services for dozens of well-known chain restaurants, including Green Tea, Xianqi Banbudian, Chi Nai, Fengyuanjia and Yisushi. In a statement released Monday, the joint investigation team in Huli District said authorities had received public complaints about the company and launched an immediate probe. Inspectors collected evidence at the site, conducted sampling and testing, and seized all remaining chemicals held by the company. The company's operations in Huli district have been shut down. Authorities pledged to punish any violations in accordance with the law. A citywide inspection of local disinfection service providers is underway to identify and address irregularities, with zero tolerance for illegal practices in the industry. On Monday noon, the company's legal representative, identified as Zhuang, told Xiaoxiang Morning Herald that the company had never used dichlorvos, but instead used professional disinfection products. Zhuang also claimed that the company had been maliciously reported by a former employee. Zhuang said that two inspections conducted by Xiamen's market regulation authorities, one in late July and the other in early August, found no evidence of dichlorvos. However, the local authorities have not confirmed Zhuang's claims. Dichlorvos is not permitted for use in catering venues due to its persistence and potential health hazards. Exposure to the chemical can cause serious health effects and, in severe cases, may be life-threatening. 。
