Wheeling-based attorney Teresa Toriseva says she has now sent another 30-day Notice of Forthcoming Legal Action to the state police on behalf of a group of women. Toriseva said there have been new developments in her investigation that go beyond hidden cameras.

“It is an environment at the state police academy that’s downright hostile to women,” Toriseva said.

Last week, Winfield Attorney David Moye told WOWK 13 News he sent a notice of intent to bring a lawsuit to West Virginia Attorney Patrick Morrisey and WVSP Superintendent Colonel Jack Chambers on behalf of five additional female plaintiffs.

Now Toriseva said many of those women have additional allegations that are much worse. She says this new notice of legal action from her office represents 42 women including 10 minors who attended the Junior Trooper Academy and alleges a civil conspiracy.

We’re finding and getting reports of sexual misconduct, including reports of improper sexual relationships with instructors. We’re getting reports of physical assaults,” Toriseva said. “Evidence of a cover-up, of fraud, not letting this become public, so to speak to oversimplify it and that is a problem too.”
