TOWANDA – Fallout from sexual assault charges filed against the Bradford County district attorney continues with a demand that he resign and the revocation of his courthouse security clearance.
The Strong Women of Bradford County, which describes its members as politically and socially liberal, is working to oust Chad Michael Salsman, 44, of Wyalusing.
Strong Women established an online petition demanding Salsman’s resignation that as of Monday had more than 2,670 signatures. It is not about politics, spokesperson Elizabeth Owen said.
Salsman must resign to “restore public trust in the integrity of the office and the rule of law in Bradford County,” she said. “It is a disgrace to our county to be forced to have a man who has used his position as a lawyer and then DA to [allegedly] commit multiple acts of violence against vulnerable woman.”
