(NEWLY PUBLISHED OPINION FOR OCTOBER 20, 2015)
Applying established case law to N.J.A.C. 10:129-7.3, effective April 1, 2013, the Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit of the Department of Children and Families appropriately entered findings of "not established" after investigating allegations against two defendants — a teacher's aide for a special needs child and an elementary school art teacher. The reports, however, must be rewritten to clarify that no determination as to the validity of the witness's statements was made.
