Investigation

I'd like to remain anonymous. MKC [REDACTED] was arrested by local LE after a female minor reported to her guidance counselor that he had sexually abused her. He was relieved of command and moved to another unit. While awaiting trial, the victim's mother prevented her daughter from telling her story and all charges were dropped without her testimony. He was transferred out of D1 to Sector Detroit where he was able to quietly retire with full benefits.

The real kick in the stomach though was that nobody knew what he was relieved for. I concurrently reported to the command that he had made some comments about minors and women in general that made me uncomfortable. I was interviewed by CGIS and told them the same thing. I 100% believe he did it and got let off on a technicality. There's a lot more to the story that I can't share without outing the minor but it's fucked up. He's a piece of shit and I hope everyone remembers his name.

This story is in the news as well, in case anyone wanted to search it.
