"Edward Richard Hinds, who once ran the 67th Precinct Clergy Council in East Flatbush, now finds himself at the center of renewed questions about how publicly funded youth and violence-prevention programs are overseen."
"While this outcome brings a level of legal closure, we recognize that matters of this nature leave a lasting impact, and our hearts remain with all those affected."
"The council says it has implemented stronger internal safeguards and oversight over the past year."
Edward Richard Hinds, former head of the GodSquad, received three years of probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of endangering a child's welfare. His plea followed a serious indictment on multiple counts, including sexual misconduct involving a minor. The 67th Precinct Clergy Council acknowledged the victim was connected to their program and stated that Hinds was suspended and then permanently removed from his position. The council has since implemented stronger internal safeguards and oversight in response to the incident.
