Police Officer and Church Pastor Charged In Child Abuse Scandal

CORONA, CA -- An officer from the Corona Police Department is facing a charge of failing to report suspected child abuse of a 13-year-old boy by three men affiliated with a local church.

Tuesday the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office filed the single misdemeanor count against Corona police corporal Margaret Bell.

Bell surrendered herself and appeared at the Hall of Justice in Riverside today and was arraigned on the charge. She entered a plea of not guilty and now has a trial readiness conference scheduled for Aug. 7, 2012.

“The Corona Police Department requested that the DA’s office investigate any possible criminal culpability by Bell after the department was told that she had been advised of suspected child abuse of a 13-year-old boy by three men affiliated with a church in Corona, including its pastor, Lonny Lee Remmers,” the DA’s office reported today.

Bell allegedly had been told of the suspected abuse prior to Corona police being advised on March 29, 2012.

“The investigation determined that Bell was told by at least one church member of the suspected child abuse but she failed to report it to law enforcement authorities as she is required to do under the law,” the DA’s office reported today.

Remmers and the two other men affiliated with the Heart of Worship Community Church, Nicholas James Craig and Darryll Duane Jeter Jr., were arrested by Corona police and have been charged in case. All three have pleaded not guilty. The trio had a felony settlement conference today and now have a preliminary hearing scheduled for Sept. 7, 2012.

Craig and Jeter drove the boy to the desert on March 18 and “forced him to dig a grave, threw dirt on him and beat him with a belt.”

Remmers later used a pair of pliers to inflict pain on the boy, according to the Press-Enterprise report.

The boy’s mother turned her son over to the three Heart of Worship Community Church members “for intervention" because she believed her boy had been involved in "sexual misconduct,” The Press-Enterprise reported.

Remmers, who served federal prison time prior to his arrest this year, had applied to be a Corona police chaplain last year and was involved in the city’s mayor’s task force on youth safety, The Press-Enterprise reported.

MT police officer charged with child molestation

Taylon Bain, a former Glendive and Malta police officer who once ran for Dawson County Sheriff, has been arrested on child molestation charges.

Bain, 27, faces four counts of sexual intercourse without consent, two counts of sexual abuse of children, and one count of solicitation of tampering with physical evidence, all felonies.

Bain appeared in Dawson County Justice Court on Tuesday and was bound over to District Court.

The arrest was the culmination of at least two years of investigation.

The charging documents identify four female victims between the ages of 13 and 16 between 2004 through 2009.

The documents allege that Bain saved pictures of his alleged victims on his computer and phone.

They say that reportedly met the girls through community groups he was involved in including two through 4-H, one through a dance class, and one through Special Olympics.

Bob Norbie, the president and CEO of Special Olympics Montana, said, "We are deeply saddened to learn that Taylon Bain has been charged with violating an underage volunteer of Special Olympics and others in the Glendive community. As a volunteer, Mr. Bain passed all required volunteer registration and screening processes. Although we have not been contacted by the authorities, Special Olympics will do anything it can to support the investigation into these serious allegations."

Since leaving law enforcement several years ago Bain has worked as DJ and sound man and for oilfield service companies.

Bain is now held in the Dawson County Correctional Facility on $50,000 bond.

Court records involving another possible suspect are sealed.

Police officer charged with sexual exploitation of a minor

Authorities are looking for a LaFollette Police officer who is accused of having inappropriate contact with an underage girl from Georgia.

A Campbell County grand jury returned a 44 count indictment against Michael Baker, 39, on July 11.

According to a press release from the LaFollette Police Department, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation contacted them several months ago about the allegations against Baker. LPD notified the Knoxville Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Division to assist in the investigation.

Baker is believed to be living in the New Tazewell area of Claiborne County, but so far, authorities have not been able to locate him to arrest him.

If you have any information about Baker's location, please call the LaFollette Police Department at 423-562-8331 or the TBI at 1-800-744-4000.

2 cops use sex for favors

Jacinto City Police Capt. Thomas Harmon DeMont, 49, was arrested Wednesday after he was charged with indecency with a child.

A Jacinto City police captain and a former Brazoria County sheriff's deputy both used their authority as law enforcement officers to commit sexual assaults, officials said.

Capt. Thomas Harmon DeMont, 49, was arrested Wednesday after he was charged with indecency with a child.

On Tuesday, ex-sheriff's deputy Joe Garcia, 37, surrendered at the Brazoria County Jail after a grand jury there indicted him on sexual assault and official oppression charges.

DeMont, now on administrative leave from the department, is accused of exposing himself in April to a 13-year-old girl, according to the criminal complaint filed against him.

The girl had been having problems with a boy at her school, and her mother had sought help from a police officer she knew only as "Sgt. Tom" of the Jacinto City Police Department.

On April 11, DeMont met with the girl at her uncle's apartment. Her mother remained outside.

The teenager later told investigators DeMont gave her a blue pill that he claimed would help her relax.

"She took the pill and began to feel dizzy and sleepy," according to the criminal complaint.

DeMont then exposed himself to the girl and asked her to commit a sex act, the complaint stated. The girl ran outside.

She later told investigators DeMont threatened to kill her family if she reported what happened, the complaint stated. He also sent the girl several text messages telling her that her family members were now in danger.

Houston police juvenile sex crimes detectives contacted Jacinto City police and asked if a "Sgt. Tom" worked there.

DeMont, the officer they talked to, told them there was no "Sgt. Tom' on the rolls. But, the HPD detectives checked the girl's cellphone records and confirmed he sent her several text messages after the alleged assault. She also identified DeMont in a photo lineup, according to the criminal complaint.

DeMont, a Missouri City resident, remains in custody at the Fort Bend County Jail with bail set at $50,000, officials said.

Garcia, the since-fired Brazoria County deputy, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he met at the scene of a March 30 vehicle accident, Brazoria sheriff's officials said.

They said Garcia volunteered to drive the 24-year-old woman to her friend's home in Brazoria. Sheriff's officials said he assaulted her soon after they pulled up to the house.

A sheriff's deputies investigation corroborated the woman's account of the incident. Garcia was fired April 10.

On Monday, Garcia surrendered after a Brazoria County grand jury indicted him on charges of sexual assault and official oppression.

He was released from the Brazoria County Jail after posting $50,000 bail.

child pornography charges against a CHP officer

REDDING — The Shasta County District Attorney's Office wants additional information from California Highway Patrol investigators before deciding whether to file possession of child pornography charges against a CHP officer already charged with having a cache of illegal guns, explosives, drugs and stolen driver's licenses at his Anderson area home.

But Redding defense attorney Joe Gazzigli, who represents CHP officer Gerald "Gary" Roland Harris, 45, said today prosecutors have told him child porn charges are sure to be filed later this month.



"They told me they are filing," he said following a brief court proceeding for his client, who remains on leave from the CHP.



Although Gazzigli said he has not been provided with evidence in the pending child porn case since it's not been filed, he said a photo of a young girl in a "compromising position" and another photograph depicting a sex act among a young boy and a young female apparently were found by investigators on one of Harris' computers.



Deputy District Attorney Rachel Donahou declined after court to reveal the nature of the pending charges or to confirm that new charges will definitely be filed.



"I intend to (file additional charges), but I can't guarantee it," she said.



Harris was in Superior Court today for the setting of a preliminary hearing on his already filed criminal case, but retired Superior Court Judge Anthony Anderson agreed to put it off for the third time. Scheduling was reset for July 23.

NYPD cop busted for allegedly having sex with teen

An NYPD officer was arrested upstate for having a sexual relationship with a teenaged boy, authorities said.

Rosandre Burgher, 26, an officer with the 46th precinct in the Bronx, was picked up on Tuesday in the Town of Wallkill, a court official said.

"It is alleged that this officer had a relationship with a 16-year-old male, a consensual relationship. This person [the 16-year-old victim] calls directly to Internal Affairs Bureau, makes allegations,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said in a press conference today.

“Internal Affairs Bureau goes and meets with Wallkill police department and works in conjunction with them and an arrest was made,” Kelly said.

Burgher was charged with criminal sexual act, unlawfully dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child, said a spokeswoman with the Wallkill Court. He was released on $35,000 bond on Wednesday and is due back in court on June 26.

“The officer was suspended,” Kelly said.

Former police officer appeals rape conviction

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A former Jackson police officer sentenced to 75 years in prison for statutory rape involving his girlfriend's daughter has appealed his conviction. The case of Jeffery Webb Sr. is among dozens of appeals before the state Court of Appeals in its July-August term. The Appeals Court will not hear oral arguments in the case. Webb was convicted in 2011 in Hinds County for statutory rape, sexual battery and gratification of lust.  Prosecutors said Webb sexually abused the child from the time she was 11 until she was 14-years-old. A judge sentenced Webb to 30 years for statutory rape, 30 years for sexual assault and 15 years for gratification of lust. The sentences are running consecutively.

Aurora cop sentenced for sexual exploitation of a child

A former Aurora police officer has been sentenced for having sexually explicit photographs of a teenager on his cellphone.

Michael Mangino, 51, who was dismissed from the police department after the March 9, 2011, incident, was sentenced Thursday to three years in the Colorado Department of Corrections, according to an Adams County District Attorney's Office media release. The execution of the sentence was "stayed" for five years when Mangino agreed to immediately serve 90 days in the county jail and comply with terms of a sex offender management board treatment program.

Mangino pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child, a felony, on April 24. The victim in the case was in Mangino's custody when he was a DARE officer with the department.

"Mr. Mangino, by his perverse and sexually deviant actions, did great harm to the image of the Aurora Police Department," Police Chief Daniel J. Oates said in the release. "His violation of trust caused great harm to our community, making it harder for the most vulnerable victims to trust the police."

Mangino drove a runaway suspected of smoking pot to Children's Hospital for a urine analysis so she could be medically cleared to go to the Arapahoe County Juvenile Assessment Center.

According to an arrest affidavit and testimony during a preliminary hearing, the girl told investigators that Mangino said he had started taking photos of all the people he arrested. The girl told investigators that she thought Mangino wanted her to take photos of her naked body using his personal cellphone, and so she did.

Investigators found the photos on Mangino's cellphone, according to the arrest affidavit and testimony.

Case delayed; CHP officer could face more charges in July

Case delayed; CHP officer could face more charges in July

By Sean LongoriaA California Highway Patrol officer under investigation in a child pornography case and charged with having a cache of illegal guns, explosives, drugs and stolen driver's licenses at his Anderson area home will have to wait until next month to find out whether he'll stand trial.

CHP officer Gerald "Gary" Roland Harris, 45, appeared in court only briefly Monday morning as prosecutors and criminal defense attorney Joe Gazzigli asked retired Superior Court Judge Anthony Anderson to hold off setting preliminary hearing date as the District Attorney's Office contemplates filing further charges against him.

The officer is under investigation in a child pornography case, according to two independent sources and a sealed Shasta County search warrant. But the extent of the investigation remains unclear.

Harris hasn't been charged with any child pornography allegations.

Josh Lowery, chief deputy district attorney, last week said the CHP submitted a second report on Harris to his office, but a decision on whether to file additional charges won't be made until July.

Harris will be back in court July 11 to set a preliminary hearing date. Gazzigli initially asked to hold off until July 9 to see if prosecutors file further charges, though Sarah Van Slyke, deputy district attorney, requested the date two days later.

Harris, now sporting a goatee, quickly left the court after the short

hearing along with three others. Gazzigli was in-between cases but offered a brief comment to reporters outside the courthouse.

"My gut reaction is that they're struggling with it," he said of the DA's investigation into Harris.

It's the second delay in the case in as many months. Gazzigli and prosecutors during a May hearing asked for a continuance in the case as the District Attorney's Office continued an investigation expected to be complete this month.

District Attorney Steve Carlton wasn't available for comment Monday on why the case has met delays or the status of his office's investigation.

CHP investigators, who have said they were collecting evidence in a crime that occurred nearly a month earlier at the Redding CHP patrol office, searched Harris' Deschutes Road house Feb. 21.

Investigators said they found 10 illegal assault rifles as well as an illegal assault pistol, homemade explosives, methadone pills and dozens of stolen driver's licenses.

Harris is charged with 13 felony counts related to the guns, drugs and explosives and one misdemeanor count of embezzlement by a public or private officer for the driver's licenses.

After the much-publicized February search of the Deschutes Road home, Harris was cited and released.

He turned himself in March 2 and his bail was set at $100,000. He bailed out 70 minutes after he was booked.

Gazzigli has said Harris is on leave from his duties as a patrol officer.

Davie cop accused of 2009 rape still waiting on second trial

Davie cop accused of 2009 rape still waiting on second trial

DAVIE — Stephen Olenchak, the Davie officer accused of drugging and raping a family member in March 2009, is still waiting for a new trial date.

On Monday, Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson said he may set a trial date at the next status hearing on July 11.

It will be Olenchak's second trial.  

His attorney, Jim Lewis, expects it to begin sometime this summer.

In his first trial, jurors found him guilty in December 2010 on one charge of sexual battery by digital penetration and acquitted him of a second charge of penile penetration.

A judge was forced to declare a mistrial after a juror admitted to doing her own research on Wikipedia and bringing printouts to the jury room.

Olenchak was arrested in March 2009 by Davie police on charges he raped a family member, then 19, while his wife and 4-year-old son slept next to them in the same bed. Olenchak claimed the young woman seduced him.

In the upcoming trial, Olenchak will be tried on one count of sexual battery on a helpless victim, a first-degree felony with a maximum 30-year sentence.

In the first trial, Olenchak faced two charges of sexual battery, a second-degree felony with a maximum 15-year sentence.

Prosecutors upgraded the charge in January after Olenchak rejected a plea deal of three years.

Since his arrest, Olenchak has come to every hearing, but was not in court Monday.

In May, Levenson told Olenchak he was no longer required to attend status hearings.

"It's OK, your honor," Olenchak said. "I've got to be my best advocate. My life's on the line."

Olenchak, 37, remains employed by the Davie Police Department pending the trial's outcome.

Even if Olenchak is acquitted by a Broward jury, he might still lose his job if department brass determine he engaged in conduct unbecoming of an officer, Davie Police Capt. Dale Engle said.

Wichita police officer charged with indecent liberties

Wichita police officer charged with indecent liberties

(WICHITA, Kan.) — A Wichita police officer who pleaded guilty to sexual battery against two citizens while on duty is now charged with two counts of indecent liberties against two children. Charges were officially filed against Joseph McGill today. McGill is charged with one count of aggravated indecent liberties against a one year old. The other alleged victim was just three months old when prosecutors say the crime occurred. McGill is scheduled to be back in court next month.

N.J. court won't dismiss charges against Irvington cop

SOMERVILLE — A Superior Court judge will not throw out charges against an off-duty Irvington cop who allegedly helped two women escape after they beat a 17-year-old girl in Raritan last year.

Judge Robert Reed Thursday denied Herne LaCoste’s request to dismiss his indictment, which LaCoste’s attorney said was tainted by the omission of crucial evidence.
"None of that ... is of any consequence to this motion," Reed said.
LaCoste, a 14-year-Irvington police veteran, has been charged with robbery, kidnapping and official misconduct. He also faces several weapons charges and counts of aggravated assault and hindering apprehension.
The 40-year-old officer is accused of standing by while his 19-year-old girlfriend, Shanikah Daniels of East Orange, and another woman, Markeesa Coleman, 18, of Irvington, beat the victim in a parking lot on Oct. 16.
The beating came minutes after Coleman and Daniels allegedly robbed the teen at gunpoint and took her cell phone, bus ticket and MetroCard. Authorities said the attackers and LaCoste, of Plainfield, fled in his SUV.
A .38-caliber handgun used in the robbery was not LaCoste’s police-issued sidearm, but an unregistered weapon allegedly belonging to him, court documents state.
According to those papers, the plan was to take the victim, who Daniels knew, and strand her somewhere. Daniels intended to beat the victim because she had disrespected her mother, according to authorities.
A Somerset County grand jury indicted LaCoste last fall, but defense attorney Dan Smith said the panel didn’t get to see key evidence — surveillance footage and a witness statement — that could have raised doubt as to whether LaCoste refused to help the victim.
"The grand jury should have had a chance to decide," he said.
Reed, however, said the evidence was not enough to negate guilt.
LaCoste is currently suspended from the Irvington force, Smith said.
Irvington police did not return a phone call seeking confirmation.

A Wichita Police officer convicted of touching two girls

WPD Officer Headed To Trial For Child Sex Crimes

A Sedgwick County judge has bound over a Wichita Police officer accused of fondling his own children.

Prosecutors charged Joseph McGill with indecent liberties with a child last month. Investigators said the crimes occurred while the children lived with McGill.

The state called one witness, McGill's estranged wife, to testify during a preliminary hearing Thursday.

She said McGill fondled the couple's daughters, ages 3 months and 1-year-old. She said McGill admitted to touching the girls in the shower.

The defense argued the girls were never examined by a medical professional.

But District Court Judge Jeff Syrios ruled the woman's testimony was enough to send the case to trial.

McGill is expected to return to court July 30.

Thursday, June 7, 2012

A Wichita Police officer convicted of touching two girls on duty now faces a judge on additional sex crime charges.

Joseph McGill was arrested last month on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Capt. Brent Allred, Wichita Police, said the crimes happened about two years ago while the girls lived with McGill.

It's believed the allegations were uncovered through McGill's probation process for the previous crimes.

McGill was charged with sexual battery while on duty as a Wichita Police Officer in January. After pleading guilty, he was given three months probation and fired from his job.

A Sedgwick County judge will decide whether there is enough evidence in the newest case to send McGill to trial.

Cop’s arrest roils Troy

A 26-year veteran police sergeant was arrested Friday morning by the New York Police Department on charges accusing him of committing computer crimes dangerous to minors, city police said.

Sgt. Patrick Rosney, 53, was arrested Friday morning when he arrived for work at police headquarters. He was handcuffed while in uniform. It was a sting operation involving a New York City police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl, according to several people briefed on the arrest.

Rosney was allowed to change into civilian clothes before he was driven to Queens to be arraigned for first-degree attempted dissemination of indecent material to minors, a felony and attempted endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.

Rosney was suspended without pay for 30 days when he was arrested. Rosney’s fellow officers were shocked and angered by his alleged actions, Tedesco said.

“We are a strong department. We are a department of character. We expect a rough road,” Tedesco said.

“To see a police officer in handcuffs is very disturbing and hurtful,” said Officer Robert Fitzgerald, president of the Troy Police Benevolent Association. Mayor Lou Rosamilia said the city would cooperate with the NYPD investigation. “The allegations in this case are deplorable,” the mayor said. “This is a deeply disturbing incident, and certainly not reflective of the overall character and quality of our police department.”

Upstate NY cop arrested in NYPD computer sting

TROY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York City police have accused a veteran upstate police officer of having sexual conversations via computer with a person he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

 Troy Police Chief John Tedesco tells local media Friday that Sgt. Pat Rosney of East Greenbush was arrested earlier in the day by a Queens-based NYPD vice squad and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and disseminating indecent material to a minor.

 Rosney was being brought to Queens for arraignment. It couldn't initially be determined if he has a lawyer. Tedesco says Rosney has been suspended without pay. His age and years with the Troy force weren't immediately available from police officials.

Ohio officer pleads guilty to sex charges

“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) - A retired police officer in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to charges involving sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl.

Forty-9-year-old Eric McKee of Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAHTH'-ee) pleaded guilty this week in Ross County Common Pleas Court to four charges including two misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition.

The charges accuse McKee of physical sexual contact with the girl. He still faces 10 felony counts of unlawful sexual conduct.

The Chillicothe Gazette (http://ohne.ws/MAXTel ) reports the alleged incidents happened between 2010 and 2011, mostly before McKee retired from the Chillicothe Police Department after 25 years. He was indicted in October.

McKee is scheduled to be sentenced for the four charges in July. He will go to trial next month for the remaining charges.

Rookie cop accused of furnishing obscene materials to minors

“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”

After only weeks on the job, a Gwinnett County police officer is accused of electronically furnishing obscene materials to minors.

Mr. David D. Lowe, 26, was out on bond after his own department arrested him, officials confirmed Monday.

On Friday, officers arrested Mr. Lowe who graduated from the police academy on May 10, police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.

He resigned following his arrest when he was notified of the department's intention to fire him, Cpl. Smith said.

Following a tip from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Gwinnett police investigated the source of an explicit video posted on www.myyearbook.com, a website designed to use by minors and grouped by age range. “The tip indicated that an unknown person had created such a profile and used it to share explicit video with minors,” Cpl. Smith said.

The department’s investigation led to the home of one of their own.

“It was quickly determined that he was a new police officer in this department,” Cpl. Smith said.

A search warrant was obtained and conducted on Mr. Lowe’s Norcross home and computers early Friday, the corporal said. Detectives and officers transported Mr. Lowe to the Gwinnett County Jail late Friday night, officials said.

St. Louis County police officer charged with sodomy

“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”

CLAYTON • A St. Louis County police officer was charged Wednesday with three counts of second-degree statutory sodomy after he was accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teenage girl more than 10 years ago.

Cedric K. Webb, 44, of the 2000 block of Carrie Way Lane in north St. Louis County, resigned from the department when confronted with the allegations, chief Tim Fitch said.

Webb was most recently a patrol officer in the North County precinct. He met the victim shortly after he joined the force in 1999 because she was a habitual runaway and Webb tried to mentor her, but the relationship turned sexual, Fitch said.

Webb is accused of having the sexual relationship with the girl until 2003. It began when she was 14, Fitch said.

The alleged victim, now in her 20s, came forward Tuesday, telling police the relationship was consensual "but thought we needed to be aware of it," Fitch said. The woman recently saw Webb at a store and decided to tell police about the previous relationship.

Police began an internal investigation and interviewed Webb on Wednesday, when he admitted to "some of the conduct" and resigned. He was arrested at police headquarters and booked into the county jail, where he is being held on $25,000 cash-only bail.

"I'm not aware of any previous complaints against this officer, but it's always extremely disappointing that a person in a position of trust would violate the code of ethics," Fitch said.

Suspended Vegas cop facing child lewdness charge

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A suspended Las Vegas police officer is facing a felony child lewdness charge after being accused of groping a family friend's daughter during tent camping trips.

Police say the officer, 43-year-old Garrett Vandereecken, was arrested Tuesday after the girl reported several groping incidents beginning during a 2008 Memorial Day camping trip with the officer and her parents to Zion National Park in Utah. The girl was 11 at the time.

Vandereecken was later freed on $100,000 bond.

The girl is now 15. Court documents say she told her family about the incidents after taking a school class last year about sexual abuse.

Her father initially confronted Vandereeken, then went to police.

Vandereecken had been a police officer since 2008. He is suspended without pay pending the outcome of the case.
