Fross v. County of Allegheny

Federal District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania

EJ Strassburger, Don Driscoll, Vic Walczak, Sara Rose

The ACLU of Pennsylvania and the PA Institutional Law Project filed a lawsuit on October 6, 2008, challenging an Allegheny County law that excludes convicted sex offenders from living virtually anywhere in the County except forested hilltops and a few high-income areas. One of the principal arguments is that Allegheny County’s law interferes with the state’s Megan’s Law and thereby undermines monitoring, rehabilitation and public-safety efforts by state and county probation and parole agencies.
