(Bakersfield, CA) October 6, 2025 – Assemblymember Dr. Jasmeet Bains (D-Delano) released the following statement in response to a visit from US Attorney Eric Grant to Kern County:
"I am encouraged that US Attorney Grant and his team are in town just weeks after I requested their intervention in the criminal case against Zach Scrivner. I am confident a federal review of the facts will support the filing of child molestation charges. These are the charges that should have been filed by the DOJ and would have prevented the abuse of mental health diversion that has occurred. I am hopeful local law enforcement will fully cooperate with a federal investigation as I prepare legislation to close this Epstein Loophole in the future.”
