Philadelphia’s new District Attorney Kelley Hodge may have less than five months left on her interim term as the city’s chief law enforcement officer, but she plans to accomplish quite a lot.
Hodge, who was sworn in as the city’s chief law enforcement officer on July 24, has been on the job less than three weeks, and took over the office following a public corruption scandal that led former District Attorney R. Seth Williams to plead guilty to a bribery charge. But Hodge, who was previously the University of Virginia’s first Title IX coordinator—a post that was carved out following a sex scandal based on a later retracted article from Rolling Stone magazine—is no stranger to handling an office during times of turmoil.
