New York Times Highlights Work of Most & Associates

Today, Marie Fazio of the New York Times covered the work of Most & Associates, explaining that:

A former New Orleans police officer with a history of behavioral complaints who was dispatched to help a 14-year-old rape victim get medical attention last year later raped her himself, the girl’s mother claimed in a lawsuit.

After he took the girl to a hospital for evaluation, the officer, Rodney Vicknair, groomed the girl for months before he eventually sexually assaulted and raped her, according to the lawsuit, which was filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The piece quotes Most & Associates attorney Hope Phelps:

Hope A. Phelps, a lawyer representing the girl and her mother, said the lawsuit was intended to hold Mr. Vicknair accountable, as well as the New Orleans police for “sending him to the hospital that night.”

“For our client and her young daughter, it’s going to take years of counseling,” Ms. Phelps said. “This was very damaging to them emotionally, and they’re still suffering from it.”
