Abington police officer Jordan Jones has allegedly sexually assaulted a high school student whom he met in the 2022-23 school year

The Inquirer reported that the suspect asked the victim if she could walk his dog. The 17-year-old victim agreed to do the chore. According to the student, the alleged physical relationship started in November 2023. On Monday, February 12, authorities established and monitored a phone call between the victim and the Abington officer. In the phone call, Jordan Jones was allegedly heard saying,

"I trust you, I know you wouldn't try to get me arrested or anything. That's a big risk, of course. And I took that risk because I care about you and if we were to date my life would be over."

"As your Chief, I cannot find the words to accurately convey the pain that this betrayal of trust has caused so many, not the least of which is our victim in this case."
