Bradford County District Attorney Chad Salsman pleaded not guilty Monday to all criminal charges against him tied to alleged sexual abuses against female clients while he was in private practice.
In the weeks since charges against Salsman, 44, were announced they include multiple counts of sexual assault, intimidation of a witness or victim, obstruction of justice, and prostitution the case spurred a spectrum of responses in the community, from crime victim advocates calling for his resignation to fellow attorneys maintaining the judicial process should run its course.

The charges follow a lengthy investigation by Pennsylvania State Police and a state-empaneled grand jury, and stem from allegations made by five women who were clients of Salsman when he was an attorney in private practice.
Salsman did not enter a plea at his initial arraignment Wednesday in Magisterial District Court in Towanda, and was released after bail was set at $500,000 and he posted a 10% surety bond of $50,000.
