The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has identified the employee of the County’s Children’s Detention Center, fired and arrested for arranging fights between juveniles incarcerated at the facility.
They say 23-year-old John Kanu of Greece is charged with endangering the welfare of a child after officials learned of the “slap boxing” match he set up in a bathroom between two young men. Investigators say Kanu was also seen on video striking a juvenile in the face.
Monroe County Executive Adam Bello says the county is pressing charges because this was a violation not only of the CDC rules but also of the law. Bello said this sort of thing will not be tolerated.
