Mantua Police Officer Miranda Brothers filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Portage County Sheriff’s Office after the child endangerment case against her was dismissed.
“We are trying to find out what it is or what caused them to initiate this operation against her in the first place, and why they treated her so differently from any other parent in a similar situation,” Brothers’ attorney, Eric Fink, said.
Fink said there was no evidence or probable cause to prove the allegations.
“Although she was charged with leaving the child alone with a registered sex offender, each of the officers that testified stated that they never saw any contact with the registered sex offender,” Fink said.
