ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB) — Erie County’s former Commissioner of Social Services, Al Dirschberger, traveled to Albany Monday to turn himself in to authorities after being indicted by an Albany County grand jury on rape and criminal sex act charges.
The indictment was handed up Tuesday afternoon, a little more than a month after Albany police said he raped one of his subordinate Erie County employees while the two were in the state capital to attend a conference on the taxpayer’s dime
