"The Advocate: Tacoma advocate for domestic violence victims faces ethics case"
China Fortson, Tacoma's first "full-time advocate" for victims of domestic violence, overstepped her professional boundaries when she became too involved in a divorce and custody battle between a local couple in which there was no evidence of abuse. She used taxpayer money to break the law and helped her client "illegally flee the state."
