Monroe County Executive Adam Bello has ordered a "top to bottom" overhaul of the county’s probation department following the alleged attack and rape of a 12-year-old girl by a level two sex offender who was on probation.

The alleged sexual assault, which prompted a review of Monroe County's probation department, happened inside a corner store on Central Avenue in March. Police say the girl was locked inside and attacked by two men. One of them, Shahad Alghaithy, is a level two sex offender who worked at the store, which is located next to a school, a violation of the terms of his probation.

"It was clear that Mr. Alghaithy should not have been working across the street from a school," said Bello. "I share this community's outrage, upon learning of the situation."

Bello ordered two outside reviews of probation department policy, which he says found inadequate training, flawed policies and "troubling gaps" in how probation officers verify a sex offender's place of employment.

"We’re continuing to work through that," said Richard Tantallo, the county director of public safety. "Because in many instances, individuals change employment. We sometimes find that out when we go to the previous employment location and then have to backtrack where their new employment location is."

Bello’s executive order, issued Thursday, will require mandatory visits at the place of employment for every registered sex offender. A national expert in probation policy will be brought in to create new standards for the probation office. And probation officers will undergo new cross-training. Tantallo will now oversee the office of probation and community correction until a new boss is found. Bello says the previous director has resigned, at his request.

"Our community needs to have complete faith that the Monroe County probation department protects the public with consistent thorough oversight of every sex offender case that's under their jurisdictions," said Bello.

In addition, a review of 239 registered sex offenders under the probation department's supervision found that they all live where they're supposed to, under the law. More complicated, says Tantallo, is verifying their places of employment, which is in the process of being done now.

Meanwhile, the city of Rochester padlocked the corner store where the alleged rape happened. The suspects are awaiting trial for a case officials say never should have happened in the first place.
