It was at least the third time the detective, Neil David Kimball of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, had been accused of misconduct while on duty, though he was not charged as a result of the first two allegations.
District Attorney Gregory D. Totten of Ventura County, whose office prosecuted the case, said in a statement that Detective Kimball, 46, met the then-15-year-old victim in 2017 when she reported a sexual assault. He befriended her and then sexually assaulted her, according to the statement.

Detective Kimball was originally charged with raping the victim while she was tied or bound. Detective Kimball was also accused of “witness intimidation by threat of force.”

Detective Kimball pleaded guilty last week to a lewd act with a child and unlawful sexual intercourse, and is expected to be sentenced to three years in prison at his next appearance, on Aug. 8. He must also register as a sex offender.

Detective Kimball’s plea comes just over a month after Sara Abusheikh, a Los Angeles fashion designer, wrote in a post on Medium about her experience with the detective after she was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance in 2014, and reported it to the authorities. Detective Kimball was assigned to her case, but she wrote that he never investigated, and instead said wildly inappropriate things to her.

This is disgusting on every level.
The girl bravely reports the assault and then the detective assigned does it to her as well.
What was he thinking? Or what was he thinking with? 
For every sexual predator that’s exposed there are dozens who never get held accountable.
It’s a fucking epidemic! I’m not accusing all men because I know many who are decent human beings, but sexual predators are almost always serial offenders. They get a pass, sometimes by their wives like Melania defending Trump. Sometimes by other men because there seems to be an understood brotherhood silent custom that even if they know another man is a predator there is no snitching allowed. Boys will be boys dontcha know!
