Montgomery County Prosecutors Office Victim/Witness Division Talks Teen Dating with MVCTC Students
Englewood, Ohio -- The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) welcomed a presentation on September 8, 2022, from Sandy Hunt, Director of the Victim/Witness Division of the Montgomery County Prosecutors Office. The presentation included educating students on strategies to defer unwanted advances, how to handle difficult social situations, substance abuse, appropriate and inappropriate dating, sexting, computer misconduct and many other areas that students could fall victim to in society today. This has been a very well-received presentation by students and staff for many years.
Sandy Hunt has been presenting this program at MVCTC for almost 20 years. MVCTC Student Services Supervisor, Mr. Brian Jettinghoff, helped organize the event and shared, “MVCTC is fortunate that Prosecutor Heck annually allows the departments Victim/Witness Division to share the all too true situations that our young adults face. Unfortunately, today’s students experience and witness situations often unimaginable to many. Ms. Hunt reviews topics that apply to all students. Her message is highly impactful in not only educating students to make appropriate choices, but how to navigate and respond to the unfortunate choices of others.”
The Victim/Witness Division of the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office as described on their website, “The Victim / Witness Division is a section of the Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office.
