Retired Kansas City Police Officer arrested on child porn charges


Police officer Neil Becker admitted to modifying family photos of his stepdaughter, a young neighbor girl and other family members into photos of them having sex with him. The children were never actually violated physically. (But you know that will fuck with them mentally for a long time.)

According to court documents, Neil Becker told detectives that he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong because it was just a fantasy. (Rather a sick fantasy don’t you think? It would have been just a matter of time before he stepped the line between fantasy and reality.)

Peggy Becker, his wife was the one who turned his sick ass into the police. (Good for her.) She said she was shocked by what she found on the family’s computer. "It was very difficult, because I love my husband and I love my family, and I tried to weigh which was more important. I couldn't overlook it," she said.

"I was just totally shocked when I found them, because No. 1, it involved my daughter, my sister and I. The mere volume of pictures... " Peggy Becker said.

"I was aghast. I took them to my son and he said, 'That's just wrong. You're not supposed to see your mother like that,'" said Debbie Schuller, Peggy Becker's sister.

Police searched the Becker’s house on Wednesday.

"When the tactical guys came, he couldn't believe what they were doing to him after 25 years of faithful valor and service to the police department," Peggy Becker said.

"Neil, he's a retired Kansas City police officer, and he knew better. I just don't believe he didn't know it was wrong," Schuller said.

"These were happy family pictures that aren't so happy anymore," she said.

Police said that when they interviewed Becker, he admitted to deleting the photos once he realized his wife had viewed them.

Neil Becker was charged with four counts of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Oklahoma Sheriff Michael Burgess Ran Sex Slave operation From Jail


An Apapaho, Oklahoma Sherriff resigned after an investigation revealed he was running a sex-slave operation from the jail he where he was suppose to be helping individuals straighten out their lives.

Sherriff Burgess resigned after posting a bond Wednesday night. He has been charged with 35 felony counts, including accusations of forcible oral sodomy, kidnapping, rape, perjury, bribery of a public official, indecent exposure, 14 counts of rape in the second degree and rape by instrumentation. Investigators said at one time, Sherriff Burgess oversaw wet T-shirt contests at the Custer County Jail.
(Why does this shit surprise people. It happens all the time, but people are ignorant believing that it doesn’t go on. It does happen people, and it needs to be stopped!)

The Texas County district attorney started looking into Burgess in May 2007 when a participant in the Washita-Custer County drug court program told investigators that Burgess made her have sex with him on a threat of sending her to prison. Because of a conflict of interest, Custer County prosecutors handed the case to Texas County authorities.

According to an affidavit signed by District Attorney James Boring, Burgess compelled a Weatherford woman to travel to Oklahoma City and meet him at the Biltmore Hotel for sex in April 2006. The same woman had sex with Burgess under duress at a Clinton truck stop parking lot and at her home.

Once the investigation of Burgess got going, the former sheriff is accused of having another woman go to the alleged victim's home in Weatherford to remove incriminating evidence against him in exchange for securing her brother's release from prison.

Other accusations outlined in the affidavit include testimony from a former sheriff's deputy, who said Burgess groped her between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, 2005. Burgess also allegedly forced a drug-court probation violator to perform oral sex on him in his county vehicle.

Perjury charges stem from an incident in which Burgess allegedly helped a Custer County woman falsify and secure a protective order against another man. The affidavit states that Burgess directed and coached the woman "as to facts she was to present and which she in fact testified to under oath" with regard to the protective order.

Burgess had been sheriff in Custer County since 1994, and these accusations have the entire region talking. Residents said that if the accusations turn out to be true, it sends a bad message.

"That you can't really trust anybody no matter if they're in power because people in power abuse their power," said Kim Whiteshirt.

If convicted on all counts, Burgess could face a sentence of up to 467 years in prison.
(And I hope the bitch gets raped everyday!!)

Retried Police Officer fondles 13 year old girl


Retired Lakeland, Florida police officer George Mort, 61, is accused of fondling the breasts of a 13-year-old girl in his home in 2006. Mort is described as a friend of the girl’s family, and was her school resource officer at the school she attended.

The incident allegedly happened at Mort's home after a school day in 2006, shortly before the girl's 14th birthday. The report said it was not unusual for Mort to watch the girl after school because he was a close friend of the family.

Initially, the girl tried to tell her mother what happened by writing a letter and giving it to her in September 2006, the report said. But when her mother tried to get the girl to talk to detectives, she was too upset and refused.

The investigation picked up again in March 2007, when investigators and the victim agreed to monitored, recorded phone conversations with Mort.

The report also said Mort had been a suspect in a previous case with similar allegations.

After a nearly two-year investigation by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, which included recording phone conversations, George Mort was arrested April 3 and charged with committing a lewd and lascivious act on a victim under 16 years old.

Mort retired from the Lakeland Police Department in 2004 after 18 years of service. His last position was as a school resource officer at Rochelle School of the Arts.

Charges of lewd and lascivious behavior have been filed against the retired officer. Jail records show he has already been released after posting a $150,000 bail.

*****************

You know this wasn’t this guys first time. I wonder how other children have been abused by the nasty mother fucker.

ALL cops consider themselves ABOVE the law. Immune to being "incarcerated" for breaking any laws. They do as they please, whenever they please, and since they know procedures so well, they are rarely detected or found out, let alone actually "charged" with a crime.

Three Chicago cops lie about arrests

Officer John Haleas won accolades for making DUI arrests, has been charged with official misconduct, obstruction of justice, and perjury in an April 9 grand jury indictment. Officers Michael Bernichio and Daniel Murphy, partners from the Chicago Lawn District have been charged with official misconduct and other offenses. All three officers face up to five years in prison if convicted.

Officer Haleas was honored three times by the Schaumburg-based Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists as the police officer with the most DUI busts in Illinois. But last October, the Cook County state's attorney's office dropped about 50 DUI cases in which Haleas had been the arresting officer and said as many as 500 cases could be in jeopardy.

The charges have been approved against Officer Haleas, who is accused of falsifying information in several DUI arrest, and Officers Michael Bernichio and Daniel Murphy, who were accused of writing up identical drug arrest reports against two men and then picking which one to charge.

Charges against Bernichio and Murphy stem from a July 2004 incident in which they arrested two men, Morris Wynn and Wayne Guy, and accused them of drug possession. The officers prepared two versions of the same arrest report—one with Wynn listed as the offender, and a second with Guy listed as the offender, authorities said.

The officers ended up arresting Wynn and releasing Guy, but they mixed up the reports and charged Wynn under Guy's name. Wynn was convicted and spent 29 months behind bars before the case was overturned.

In a lawsuit, Wynn alleged that the officers arrested the two men on false pretenses, then decided which one to charge with a crime. Last year, the Illinois Appellate Court threw out Wynn's conviction, saying Bernichio's testimony at trial was "incredible and contradicted by his own police reports."

The state's attorney's office and police internal affairs launched an investigation after the ruling.

In the Haleas case, two prosecutors in training who were riding with Haleas on patrol in 2005 raised questions about a DUI arrest he made because of procedures that were not followed. After prosecutors reviewed the arrest report Haleas filed, they asked for an internal affairs investigation.

Haleas is still on the police force but will be relieved of his police powers, said police spokeswoman Monique Bond. He had been on full duty until Tuesday. Bernichio and Murphy have already been stripped of their police powers, she said.

SWAT Officer Guillermo Cantu Arrested for Drunk Driving


A San Antonio S.W.A.T. Officer was arrested this weekend for driving drunk while in his unmarked police car. Austin police stopped the 42 year old veteran police officer who was in town for a SWAT conference.

Officer Guillermo Cantu is an 18-year veteran of the San Antonio Police Department and a member of the Special Operations Unit. (Who should have known better. I’m sure he has arrested others for the same crime.)

Gabe Trevino, a spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department said, “The arresting officer felt he was intoxicated. While at the conference, Officer Cantu was involved with drinking. He then got into the city vehicle that he was assigned to at the conference and got stopped.”

(Maybe he should have let one of the other two officers in the car with him drive? Or where they drunk too?)

San Antonio Police Department officials refused to comment about the details of Cantu's D.W.I. arrest, but said they are conducting their own investigation.

"If he was found to be guilty, then, of course, we'll address that appropriately," Trevino said.

Officer Cantu bonded out of jail in Austin. He's been placed on administrative duty, pending completion of the investigation.

******

Okay I found out from another person that this officer had recently lost his mother due to cancer. I do feel for him. Death is not a nice thing and is very hard to deal with. Still, you can’t drive drunk...that is the law. Don’t you think that maybe some of the other people that he has stopped for the same thing, might have had an good excuse too? There is no excuse for drunk driving. He should have known better since he is supposed to be a role model for society.

I don’t think he needs to lose his job for this either...maybe make him go around lecturing to others about drunk driving and what he will now have to go through because he made the wrong choice.

New York police officer arrested on sex charges

A 10 year veteran New York police officer has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing one woman and trying to force another to have sex with him.

Officer Wilfredo Rosario first met the 27 years old woman while on duty, on March 26, when he offered to help her get a job as a school crossing guard. He also promised to help her get her son into an after school program, and took her address and telephone number.

Four days later, while off duty, he went to her home, picked her up and drove to a secluded area along Riverside Drive where he sexually abused her. The woman said she tried to get out of the car, but Officer Rosario grabbed her and pulled her back into the car. He then sexually abused her again before finally taking her home.

While investigating this incident, investigators learned that in March 2002, Rosario attempted to force a 18 year old woman to have sex with him. Officer Rosario had found the teen and a male friend in the park after it had closed, and told her if she would have sex with him, he would not tell her parents or give her a ticket, but the 18 year old rejected his offer. This poor woman complained to the NYPD, but no action was ever taken.

Women living in the area say the allegations have opened their eyes.

"Having the knowledge after hearing these stories, definitely, I would be a little more vigilant, a little bit more aware, a little bit unfortunately more uncomfortable being alone with a cop, especially at night," Valerie Davidkova said.

"Oh it's awful," said one woman. "Somebody who people are supposed to be able to trust, who you're taught as a child to go to for help when you need assistance. Somebody who takes advantage of that. It's terrible."

The other woman added, “It certainly makes you wonder...I guess it makes it harder to trust the system.”

“There are other victims our there,” stated the prosecutor. Investigators are asking any other victims to please call them at (212)335-8905.

This disgraced officers bail was set at just $10,000. For sex crimes and being an ass in a uniform should have tripled his bond in my opinion.

He has been indicted on charges of sex abuse, official misconduct, unlawful imprisonment, and attempted coercion for allegedly having forced a woman into having sex with him.
-----------------------------------------------------

Hope he gets 20 years, but oh yeah I forgot they save that time for people with drug problems, not former police officers who sexually abuse women. Hmmmm...sounds like justice to me...WRONG!!!

New York City Officer Christian Torres Robs Bank


New York city police officer Christian Torres robbed a bank in Pennsylvania on Thursday, making off with $113,000 in cash. When he was caught he had a blond wig stashed in his car.

This 21 year old rookie officer decided being a cop didn’t pay well enough, and decided robbing a bank would pay better. He approached a bank employee in the Sovereign Bank branch around 8am and asked about mortgage rates. She told him that she would help him when the bank opened. He turned away, but when the employee entered the bank, he pushed his way in. An employee already at her desk saw the disturbance and triggered a silent alarm, that obviously this officer forgot that banks have.

This law breaker then ordered the employees into the vault, as he ordered one employee, at gunpoint using his police issued weapon, to put money in a shopping bag. As they were doing this he threatened to harm the employees, and then fled.

Another officer was in his patrol car when he heard about the bank alarm, and arrived to find Officer Torres, dressed in business attire leaving the bank with the bag full of money. Officer Orvech watched as the man got into a car and started to drive away, but noticed that the license plate was turned backward so the numbers were facing the bumper. A bank employee step outside and pointed to the car, so Officer Orvech pulled it over.

When questioned, he said he was a New York City police officer, and showed his badge and identification. Officer Orvech pulled him out of the vehicle and found a 9millimeter Glock handgun in the officers waistband, and discovered the wig, the derby and the bag with bundles of cash on the floor of the vehicle.

As he was being handcuffed, “he was very calm, almost like he was going to talk his way out of it,” Officer Orvech said. Officer Torres was charged with two counts of robbery, assault, theft, as well as other counts. The most serious charge, felony robbery, carries a prison sentence of 10 years or more, said Judge Dean R. Patton of Berks County Magisterial District Court in Reading, Pa., who set bail at $500,000. Judge Patton scheduled a preliminary hearing for April 21. Officer Torres was being held in the Berks County Prison until trial. Better hope he doesn’t run across someone he put in there.

Officer Christopher Darr indicted in January beating of suspect


An Elgin police officer accused of beating a suspect while off duty on New Year's Day was indicted Tuesday on battery charges, authorities said.

Officer Christopher Darr, who had been on restricted duty since January, was indicted by a Kane County grand jury on two felony counts of battery, special prosecutor Charles Colburn said.

Darr, an officer since 2001, was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal charges, a police spokeswoman said.

Darr is accused of beating Kevin Schwartz, 29, of South Elgin, one of the suspects charged in a brawl during the early hours of Jan. 1 at the Holiday Inn in Elgin. Darr's father, Jack, a hotel security officer and a retired Elgin deputy police chief, suffered broken ribs, a punctured lung and cuts when he tried to break up the fight, police said.

Police stopped Schwartz a short time later on Illinois Highway 31. Officer Christopher Darr is accused of going to the scene.

"He is not alleged to have been on duty at the time," said Colburn, of the state appellate prosecutor's office, which handled the investigation at the request of State's Atty. John Barsanti.

A lawyer for Schwartz has said the attack on his client "had nothing to do with what happened at the hotel." He said Schwartz had been handcuffed with his hands behind his back before and during the beating in the back of a police car.

The lawyer, Michael D. Oppenheimer, said Tuesday that he expects to file a lawsuit against Darr and the Elgin Police Department.

"Obviously, a grand jury has spoken," Oppenheimer said. "They heard the facts and decided he should be indicted."

Bail for Darr was set at $5,000. He is to appear for a hearing April 18.

Elgin Police Chief Lisa Womack declined to comment on the charges against Darr. She said the police internal affairs division will investigate whether Darr violated any of the department's regulations or policies.

Eight other people have been charged in the hotel brawl at 495 Airport Rd.

According to another paper:

"Darr was accused of stopping a car on New Year's Day on Illinois Highway 31 and beating Kevin Schwartz, 29, of South Elgin. Schwartz is one of the suspects charged in a New Year's Eve brawl at the Holiday Inn in Elgin that injured Darr's father, Jack, a hotel security officer and a retired Elgin deputy police chief. A lawyer for Schwartz has said the attack on his client "had nothing to do with what happened at the hotel." He said Schwartz had been handcuffed with hands behind his back before and during the beating."

So it doesn't look as though he was protecting his father but perhaps seeking revenge. Understandable maybe, but not acceptable for a law officer. Unfortunately, this opens the city of Elgin up to a lawsuit.

Fort Worth cop Clinton Wyatt arrested for drunk driving


A Fort Worth police officer allegedly found passed out behind the wheel of his marked patrol vehicle at a Burleson intersection was arrested Sunday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Clinton Wyatt, who was off-duty at the time of the 3:49 a.m. arrest, refused to take a Breathalyzer test, said Chris Havens, public information officer for the Burleson Police Department.

Wyatt, 32, was transported to the Burleson jail and released at 9:58 a.m. Sunday after posting a $1,000 bond, Havens said.

Wyatt began working with the department in January 2003 and has no history of similar incidents on his record, said Lt. Paul Henderson, Fort Worth police spokesman.

“He is on restricted duty and was stripped of his gun and his badge [pending the investigation’s outcome],” Henderson said.

Wyatt, who had been off-duty for more than nine hours before his arrest, was apparently on his way home in his patrol car when Burleson officer Brad Schaefer saw him asleep behind the wheel in the 100 block of N.W. Burleson Boulevard at the Renfro Street intersection.

Havens said the case will be taken to the Johnson County district attorney’s office for further action.

The Fort Worth Police Department’s internal affairs division is investigating the case, according to a press release, and Wyatt’s whereabouts between 6 p.m. Saturday, the time his shift ended, and the time of his arrest are under investigation.
