Nothing is more important to Safe Horizon than the victims we serve and the trust they place in our organization.<\/p>\n

In October 2015, Safe Horizon learned that Petal Foster, a former Safe Horizon employee, apparently had used information about a client illegally. At the time that Safe Horizon learned of this matter, Ms. Foster was no longer employed at Safe Horizon. Ultimately, Ms. Foster pled guilty to a felony and, on August 8, 2016, was sentenced to five years of probation for identity theft. We have supported and advocated for the affected client throughout this process.<\/p>\n

Ms. Foster worked in Safe Horizon\u2019s Brooklyn Community Program. This program assists victims of all types of crime. We are deeply saddened and angered that a former employee violated our trust and that of our clients.<\/p>\n

If you are an individual who received services through Safe Horizon\u2019s Brooklyn Community Program and would like more information, please call 212-577-3026<\/a> or email resource@safehorizon.org<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very important to us at Safe Horizon that we provide guidance and support to any individuals who may have been affected by this identity theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
