Daily News | A Chester County man who falsely accused a neighbor of sexually abusing his son was sentenced to county jail

A Chester County man who was embroiled in a homeowners association dispute with a neighbor and falsely accused him of sexually assaulting the man’s son has been sentenced to jail, state officials said Tuesday.

Authorities said Jonnala had told his son’s Boy Scout troop leader that the 13-year-old had been molested by a neighbor in Malvern Hunt. “By lying and reporting information that he knew was false, the defendant wasted valuable time and resources that could have been spent getting dangerous predators off the streets,” Henry said. “My office continues to take all allegations of child sexual abuse very seriously, and we will hold those who make false accusations accountable for their lies.”

Prosecutors say Jonnala and the man he accused had been involved in a dispute over meetings and elections of their homeowners association. The neighbor, a Center City lawyer and the association’s president, had filed a lawsuit over the matter, they said.

Letter: The Utah judiciary is in danger of becoming politicalized. That must not happen.Senate Bill 129 (from Sen. Kirk Cullimore) would collapse Utah’s eight judicial districts into just three and would create new judicial nominating commissions that could be fully partisan. Under the proposal, Salt Lake County would become part of a First Judicial District that would stretch north to Box Elder County, south to Millard County, east to Rich County, west to Tooele County and would also include Weber, Davis and Utah Counties. The proposal would eliminate the current bipartisan composition of the nominating commissions and would empower the Governor to appoint all the members of the judicial nominating commissions. Attorneys should not be allowed to serve in Legislative positions. Its a conflict of interest. Attorneys work in Judiciary branch of Gov. They shouldnt be allowed to serve in Legislative branch and the Judiciary. Period. So the Fascists demand TOTAL control over justice in Utah... Did I say 'justice'? I meant JUST US... All about control of the masses by the few who construct the laws as they wish. Mississippi did this already.
