Overview
- The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office asked a judge Friday to drop indictments against La’Quetta Small and Constance Days-Chapman.
- The request follows meetings with the teen who no longer wants the cases to proceed, and any dismissal requires court approval.
- Prosecutors said the teen received a racially toned threat on social media last week related to her accusations, which is being investigated.
- A jury acquitted Mayor Marty Small in December on all charges tied to the same allegations involving the couple’s daughter.
- Days-Chapman was accused of failing to report the teen’s complaint to authorities, and La’Quetta Small’s attorney says he will appeal a DCP&P substantiation.
