| PROBABLE PEDOPHILE AND NOW FORMER DHS/DCFS EMPLOYEE JORGE ALCON |
Jorge H. Alcon was 54 (now 70) when he was hired by the Department of Human Services, Division of Children and Family Services back in 2000 as a Social Service Aid II with an annual salary of $16, 032.
Those positions are typically held by females in that a large part of the duties of the position involve assisting families with housekeeping skills and proper childcare. These position also provide transportation and assist Family Service Workers with supervised visitation.
A high school degree is all the education and a valid driving license is all that is required for these positions.
It's strange that DHS/DCFS hired Alcon for that position in that his application lists he holds a Master's degree and his work experience does not match the abilities needed for the position. He was a former pastor, a truck mechanic, and tree planter.
We suspect that the reason that he was hired because he is fluent in Spanish.
In documents provided to us by DHS in response to a Freedom of Information request, we found that Alcon had been suspended on multiple (see update below) occasions during his employment with that agency.
What did Alcon do? We have no idea as DHS refuses to provide details.
We have a clue as to one suspension, the one in 2010, but not much of one.
One document DHS provided has a DHS policy violation. The policy violated is listed as 1084.3.2.

Is DHS trying to coverup information to protect itself? Probably.
Perhaps if DHS had terminated Alcon after the second suspension, as he appears to have been a problem employee, the abuse of the young foster child could have possibly been avoided.
Without access to documents to see why Alcon was suspended and if there was a pattern of behavior that had a relationship to events that resulted in his termination, DHS's accountability remains questionable.
Was DHS really so desperate for Spanish speaking employees that they kept Alcon on in spite of serious problems with him?
Alcon was ultimately fired by DHS on October 27, 2015 only after DHS learned that the Bentonville Police Department initiated an investigation of Alcon on October 23, 2015 for alleged sex crimes with a female minor identified only as "MW", who was a 4 years old at the time and in foster care - a ward of the State of Arkansas.
Alcon tried to place the blame on what happened on the poor child.
We wonder if he reported what he attempted to characterize as an abused child sexually acting out to Bentonville detectives to DHS or documented the incidents in the DHS/DCFS case file narrative section of "MW's" file.

| ALCON WAS REQUIRED TO DOCUMENT INTERACTIONS & PROVIDE INFORMATION TO FAMILY SERVICE WORKERS - HE HAD A DUTY TO DOCUMENT WHAT HE ALLEGED TRANSPIRED |
You can bet that he didn't tell anyone at DHS that he was taking the young female child into the men's room with him when he had to relieve himself.
You might be wondering why was Alcon just arrested in March of 2017 when the incidents occurred back in 2015. Because law enforcement was going through an intensive, time consuming process to interview all the children Alcon had access to and contact with for the last several years (statue of limitations is 3 years - counting back from time crime was discovered).
DHS Spokesperson Amy Webb made a failed attempt when Alcon was arrested at distancing Alcon from DHS/DCFS by saying he was not arrested when employed by DHS. But the sick, perverted things he did took place while he was employed by DHS and while performing functions of his position as a DHS employee. Poor spin job Amy.
Alcon has a jury trial scheduled to begin on August 17, 2017.

Much to our amazement, DHS provided additional documents after the publisher of this blog sent a follow-up email to DHS attorney Andrew Marsh in which he requested omitted documents.
DHS's supplemental response was quite informative and alarming. Alcon had been suspended multiple times for having foster children and other DHS clients in his vehicle when he was issued citations for speeding, careless prohibited driving, failure to maintain control, and a wreck.
DHS should have fired Alcon after the the second arrest for traffic violations with DHS clients in his vehicle.
When he wrecked the car with three clients in it, there is little doubt that keeping him employed placed DHS clients in danger and exposed DHS to liabilities.
Our position is that DHS so desperate to have a fluent Spanish speaking employee in Northwest Arkansas that they placed the lives of DHS clients and wards in danger. That reckless decision to keep him employed gave Alcon the opportunity to be able to abuse the 4 year old female child in foster care and possibly many others.
Heads need to roll at DHS.
