… It affects the quality of life, it affects our safety, our well-being, our children going to school,” said Dion Clark, an activist and past candidate for office who successfully lobbied for 25 vacant buildings to be demolished in the Wilbur section, where he lives. Clark said he has seen abandoned homes used by drug dealers, addicts, and gang members to hide their crimes. Vagrants camp out inside, and in winter try to keep warm by building fires that sometimes grow out of control.
Occasionally, dead bodies are pulled out of vacant homes after decaying there for months.
Steven Simonson, president of the South Trenton Involved Neighbors Group (STING), said that several vacant homes and businesses are creating problems in the Home Avenue area.
On the first block of Elm Street, the former Tweet’s Tavern was frequently used for illegal activity before it was finally boarded up.
“If you go upstairs you will find condoms everywhere,” said Simonson, who lives a block from Joseph’s home. “The prostitutes were using that house. It was unbelievable.”

According to Pace, the County Clerk had a ten day period to certify election results and confirm them with the municipality. Once this process was completed November 17, Pace was given the option of becoming sworn in immediately or waiting until his running mates become official on January 3. “I decided it was in the Township’s best interest if I was sworn in right away,” said Pace. “A Councilmember just resigned and another’s attendance is not good. There are many issues that need to be addressed.”
The issues Pace refers to include last week’s resignation from Councilman Dave Brown, a long-time member of the governing board who has cited work responsibilities for his departure. In addition, Mayor Chris Myers has been at the center of controversy for an alleged sexual encounter with a male prostitute and has not been responsive to municipal operations. Already known for a poor attendance record, his presence at recent meetings has suffered further as a result. Budgetary constraints and a fiscal deficit are other concerns of Pace.

Francis Murphy, the former athletic director at Archbishop Carroll High School, has pleaded guilty after he attempted to have sex with a male student.
The plea in the case happened on Tuesday, after Murphy was arrested in April 2011 in Bridgeport, Pa., in Montgomery County.
Murphy, 39, was arrested outside an ice cream store where police said he expected to meet the teen for sex. Murphy knew the teen from Radnor Township school and had contacted him on Facebook.
The teen and his mother alerted police, who then assumed the teen’s online identity in a sting operation.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia put Murphy on leave as high school athletic director after the incident. Archbishop Carroll cut ties with Murphy this summer, when it didn’t renew his contract.
Murphy faced charges of unlawful contact or communication with a minor, promoting prostitution, corruption of minors, attempted corruption of minors, and related offenses.

He emphatically denied a suggestion by a defense attorney, Ralph A. Jacobs, that he allowed prostitutes to smoke crack in his cruiser or that he had taken them to Atlantic City. “Absolutely not,” he said.
Stetser, of Waterford Township, pleaded guilty in June 2010. After his indictment, “my whole life collapsed, pretty much,” he said at one point Tuesday.
A big man, more than six feet tall, he was known on the street as “Fat Face” and had a reputation for aggressively going after drug dealers. His father, Jim, was a Camden officer who retired in 1989.
On the witness stand, Stetser appeared ashamed when he admitted twice giving crack to prostitutes in exchange for information on suspected drug dealers. Stetser said he dropped packets of crack – taken during other raids and not turned in as the rules required – onto the street for the women to pick up.

The strategy may make sense, but experts say it leaves a troubling gap in law enforcement.
“People are committing crimes and they’re not suffering the consequences for it,” said Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk. “I think it has emboldened those who are committing the crimes. They do not get arrested, and consequently, they continue committing these crimes.”
A 61-year-old day care employee from North Camden who didn’t want to give her name for fears of her safety, said drug dealers in her neighborhood have become more brazen since the layoffs. In fact, she said, they’ve taken over her stoop. “You chase them out of your steps and they go for 5 minutes. Then they’re back again.”
Denise Skinner, 51, who lives in the Waterfront South neighborhood, a haven for drug dealing and prostitution, is frustrated as she sees drug dealers continue to man their corners.
