SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former executive for an Orange County genetics company pleaded guilty today to a federal conspiracy charge for paying kickbacks to physicians.Donald Joseph Matthews, 50, formerly the vice president of market development for Proove Biosciences, admitted in San Diego federal court to paying doctors at least .5 million to order the company's DNA tests for their patients, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.In total, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Proove billed around million to the Medicare program for the tests -- which the company alleged could determine a patient's risk of drug addiction -- and received around million in reimbursements.Prosecutors said the company claimed the payments were compensation for participation in a clinical research program, but the money was actually "directly tied to the volume of tests that a doctor ordered and whether a doctor continued to order more tests from Proove over time.''In his plea agreement, Matthews admitted that without the financial compensation, ``most doctors were not interested in ordering Proove's tests for their patients.''Doctors who complained about not being paid were told to order more tests, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.The company's Irvine headquarters was raided by federal authorities in 2017.``Our nation's healthcare system cannot tolerate kickbacks to physicians while criminals line their pockets with taxpayer-funded healthcare dollars, particularly in light of our nation's current struggles with the COVID- 19 pandemic,'' said Acting Special Agent in Charge Omer Meisel of the FBI's San Diego Division.Matthews is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 26. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a 0,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. 1798

SAN DIEGO — The city of San Diego never waived permit repair fees for sidewalks, despite a January announcement from the mayor's office saying it would do so throughout 2020.A homeowner pays the fees, which total to just over ,000, when he or she elects to repair the sidewalk in front of their home. A spokeswoman for the mayor says, however, that the city had to delay the fee waiver program once the coronavirus outbreak hit. The city instead was forced to cut upwards of million from the general fund budget. "The City continues to prioritize sidewalk repair amid the uncertainty and budgetary impacts that COVID 19 has brought," city spokesman Anthony Santacroce said in a statement. "While COVID-related holds slowed repair down for a few months, we estimate another 10,000 locations will be repaired with concrete slicing this (fiscal year 2021) and we are off to a great start."The news release announcing the fee waiver, however, is still on the city's website.Marie St. George, a Mission Hills resident, saw that announcement and contacted the city. She wanted to spend upwards of ,500 to repair the crumbling sidewalk in front of her home. That sidewalk, laid down in 1922, is likely one of upwards of 81,000 backlogged locations the city has marked for repair."I actually am afraid now," St. George said. "People could trip. It's become sort of a hazard."The city has a program to split the construction cost with residents, as both the city and homeowners can be liable for the condition of the sidewalk. St. George, however, was willing to pay all of the cost because she wanted it done faster. However, when she called to get the permits, the city representative said she couldn't waive the fees. "I thought based on the mayor's announcement that it would be waived, so it was pretty shocking," she said. Councilman Mark Kersey, who heads the Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which was moving the fee waiver program forward, said in a statement that he hopes this will be prioritized as money comes available. “Repairs on sidewalks are even more important in the pandemic since so many people depend on them every day," he said. "Programs like the fee waiver can keep residents moving safely and save valuable City dollars by preventing trip-and-fall lawsuits."The city says it also repaired or replaced more than 7,500 sidewalk locations last fiscal year. The mayor's spokeswoman says the hope is to get the fee waiver program to the full council by the end of the year. 2522

SAN DIEGO — A San Diego police officer is blowing the whistle on a newly unveiled program that reports to reward officers for making more narcotics arrests.“It’s completely everything that we are against as law enforcement officers. It’s unethical,” he said. He spoke with Scripps station KGTV in San Diego on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing his badge.“It’s a reward system. A bounty system for officers seeking rewards for their arrests,” he tells us.KGTV was provided a copy of an internal email that was sent last week from a sergeant to more than 90 officers. It states that the program is strictly voluntary and that the program runs from March 1 (retroactive) to April 14.Accompanying the email is an attachment outlining the program details, including the point scale. 832

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A bill that would keep court hearings related to the release of Sexually Violent Predators open to the public was unveiled Tuesday by a state senator who worked with the San Diego County District Attorney's Office to craft the legislation.SB 1023, dubbed the Sexually Violent Predator Act, would prohibit proceedings related to Sexually Violent Predators -- or SVPs -- from being held behind closed doors, particularly when the hearings involve potentially releasing the offenders to a conditional housing program in the community.Recently, hearings regarding the proposed release and placement of SVP Alvin Ray Quarles, 57, otherwise known as the "Bolder-Than-Most" rapist, were held behind closed doors in San Diego County Superior Court.Judge David Gill kept the hearings under wraps due to privacy concerns over the potential disclosure of Quarles' psychiatric reports.The closed-door nature of the hearings drew protests from victims' advocates, include two of Quarles' victims, Mary Taylor and Cynthia Medina.Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, who authored SB 1023, issued a joint statement with San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan, saying SVP hearings should be held in open court "unless compelling and extraordinary circumstances justify closing the courtroom to the public.""District Attorney Summer Stephan and I believe that court hearings for sexually violent predators should be open to the public unless a judge can provide a compelling reason," Bates said. "Victims, their families, and the public have a legitimate interest in witnessing hearings through which a predator might be released."Gill ruled last year that Quarles should be released to a conditional housing program, though that decision is currently being appealed by the District Attorney's Office.Quarles, who was previously sentenced to 50 years in prison for committing more than a dozen sexual assaults in the mid-to-late 1980s, was slated to be housed at a residence in Jacumba Hot Springs, but that agreement fell through."This important legislation supports the principles of democracy and transparency in our justice system by making sure court hearings for sexually violent predators are open to the public," Stephan said. "As District Attorney, I hear the pain from victims who've been terrorized by a sexual predator but are left in the dark and not able to learn pertinent information guaranteed to them by our open courts system."The bill is awaiting referral to a Senate policy committee, Bates' staff said. 2544
