GRAND JUNCTION — A former Grand Junction police officer and firefighter has been arrested on allegations he repeatedly sexually assaulted a young girl.

The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports 42-year-old Eric Janusz surrendered Friday and faces several counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.

Police spokeswoman Kate Porras says the alleged abuse happened while Janusz was a patrol officer between 1996 and 2006. No other details were released because the arrest affidavit is sealed.

Janusz left the department in 2006 and joined the city's fire department, which he left in February due to a workers' compensation separation.

The newspaper reports a man who answered Janusz's cellphone Friday declined to identify himself and hung up. The complaint was filed in the fall, and the accuser is now an adult.

Ex-Fox Lake Police Chief Charged With Repeated Sex Assault

Ex-Fox Lake Police Chief Charged With Repeated Sex Assault

DODGE COUNTY, Wis. (WTAQ) - A former police chief in Dodge County is due in court Thursday on charges that he sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl in 1989 and stalked three people.

54-year-old Patrick Lynch was arrested Wednesday, after the state Justice Department filed 4 felony counts against him. Lynch ran the Fox Lake police force for 23 years before resigning in February of 2009.

A woman who’s now 28 told investigators that Lynch sexually assaulted her 21 years ago in the bathroom of her family’s home. The woman also said Lynch later kept showing up at 2 banks where she worked, and would drive his police car past her home.

Lynch is also accused of stalking a woman who used to work for the Fox Lake Police Department – as well as a man who was dating his ex-wife.

Lynch was suspended for 4 days after he reportedly hit the man until he fell to the ground, and then kicked him in the head during a scuffle. Authorities said that happened in 2007 at the ex-wife’s apartment.

Some charges dropped against embattled Readstown chief

Some charges dropped against embattled Readstown chief

VIROQUA — The two most significant felony charges facing Readstown Police Chief Shay Larson were dismissed Wednesday afternoon.

 Prosecutors dropped charges of sexual assault of a child and intimidating a witness, saying new evidence would make it hard to prove the case.

 A boy had accused Larson of touching him after he saw media reports that Larson had been charged with other crimes.

 Larson still faces two other felonies and six misdemeanors, stemming from what investigators say was a pattern of using his badge to commit crimes and leverage sexual favors.

 “I believe that ethically I could not go forward at this time” on the latest charges, Vernon County District Attorney Timothy Gaskell said. He declined to discuss specifics.

 Larson’s attorney, Luis Delgado, said he was thankful the charges were dismissed.

Still, the district attorney continues to pursue other charges.

 A witness testified at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that Larson knew she was driving drunk, and rather than arrest her, Larson encouraged her to rendezvous with him in the village park.

 Larson’s attorney said the chief was merely using discretion by not arresting the woman.

 Gaskell said there’s a difference between discretion and dereliction.

 “All officers have discretion whether to cite people or not,” Gaskell said. “But they do not have discretion, your honor, to allow people to continue down the road, right after they’ve had contact with them, knowing that they are committing an illegal act.”

 Larson also has been accused of pressuring a woman to give him oral sex in a downtown business and encouraging others to cover up his alleged misdeeds.

 Meanwhile, Larson is still employed as the village’s only law enforcement officer.

 He has continued to receive a paycheck since being placed on administrative leave last fall when a criminal investigation began.

Ice Cream Shop Loses Customers After Owner Is Arrested For Child Sex Abuse

DUMFRIES, Va. (CBSDC) — A former Dumfries police officer who now owns a popular ice cream shop was arrested on charges he sexually abused a young boy between 1996 and 2001.

Authorities began investigating JoJo’s Original Soft Serve owner Joseph Ruhren, 41, in 2010 after a 27-year-old Fredericksburg man reported he was sexually assaulted as a child.

The victim, who was between the ages of 12 and 16-years-old at the time, told police the assaults occurred inside his home as well as at a number of residences belonging to Ruhren according to InsideNOVA.

The alleged assaults occurred during Ruhren’s time on the police force.

Authorities charged him with 12 counts of forcible sodomy, four counts of indecent liberties, four counts of carnal knowledge, two counts of crimes against nature and one count of aggravated sexual battery.

Ruhren, who lives in the 3200 block of Riverview Drive in Triangle, is currently being held in the Rappahannock Regional Jail in Stafford on a probation violation stemming from a 2010 conviction for prescription fraud.

Ruhren opened the popular ice cream shop in 2004 following an 18-year career on the police force.

VIROQUA (AP) - New sexual assault charges are filed against a western Wisconsin police chief, who is already facing similar charges.

Readstown Police Chief Shay Larson was charged Monday with second-degree sexual assault and intimidation of a victim in Vernon County.

He was charged Thursday with eight counts including misconduct in office, fourth degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct.

WXOW-TV reports the new allegations came to light last week during testimony at Larson's first appearance. Sheriff's investigator Matt Sutton testified that Larson inappropriately touched a 14-year-old boy several times while he was doing community service work.

The complaint claims Larson threatened the boy if he told anyone.

The boy came forward after seeing news reports of Larson's arrest. No attorney is listed in online court records for Shay.

MINNEAPOLIS — A former Minneapolis Park Police chief has pleaded guilty to criminal sexual conduct and child pornography charges.

Under a plea agreement, 68-year-old William Jacobs pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of possessing child pornography.

Sentencing is scheduled April 9. Jacobs faces a sentence ranging from 12 to 18 years.

A judge had ruled that prosecutors would be able to tell jurors about three of the alleged 17 previous incidents of abuse they claim happened.

Jacobs also had a career as a camp counselor and as a teacher.
