BILLINGS — Amid accusations of a Montana Rescue Mission counselor accused of sexual assault, the Billings Police Department said Thursday it's looking into it, although no charges are yet filed.
It comes as a Billings mental health counselor is asking Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen to open a criminal review into allegations that a licensed clinician at the Montana Rescue Mission sexually assaulted multiple clients.
In a letter dated Sept. 30, counselor Jonathan C. Angel urged Knudsen to refer the matter to the attorney general’s criminal division, citing what he calls a pattern of abuse involving vulnerable clients and a lack of response from local authorities.
MTN News obtained a statement from the AG’s office surrounding the complaint, explaining it doesn't have jurisdiction
