Ex-Kansas police detective charged with preying on women

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective who has long been accused of sexually preying on Black women during criminal investigations was indicted Thursday on charges that he sexually abused two women, the FBI said.

Roger Golubski, 69, was arrested at his home in Edwardsville after a federal grand jury indicted him on six counts of civil rights violations. He was expected to make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon.

Golubski retired in 2010 after working for the Kansas City (Kansas) Police Department for 35 years. The FBI has been investigating allegations that Golubski, who is white, sexually assaulted Black women in the city and exchanged drugs for information during criminal investigations.

The federal indictment announced Thursday accuses Golubski of sexually assaulting two women, identified as S.K., and O.W., on several occasions between 1998 and 2002. The indictment does not state the race of the women.

Time to incarcerate him.

Thank you for this. As terrible as that shitstain is, I'm encouraged that the women came forward, and that the FBI took them seriously.

If memory serves, he was convicted on 18 of 36 charges, and sentenced to 236 years.

Golubski was on a gang's payroll. He extorted sexual favors from women, threating to frame a family member for the serious crimes if they refused, including a murder later attributed to that gang.

Good to see this. The articles over the years have been horrific and so sad and yet nothing was actually being done, or so it seemed. Getting this guy out of the public will help a lot but he has caused so much damage while being left alone.
