A Louisville narcotics detective was accused multiple times of using charges against drug addicts to extort them into sex. He was able to resign and prosecutors never charged him, DOJ says.

A narcotics detective with the Louisville Metro Police Department was accused multiple times of using charges against female drug addicts to extort them into sex, but he was allowed to resign and was never charged for his actions, a Department of Justice investigation into the LMPD's conduct found.

The report, released Wednesday, followed an investigation launched in April 2021 to investigate whether the LMPD practices a pattern of unlawful policing.

In the report, the DOJ accused the LMPD of not appropriately investigating officers accused of sexual misconduct and domestic violence. The report also found that units tapped to investigate claims of domestic violence do not conduct "thorough" investigations and often disregard evidence.

In one example, a woman accused an LMPD narcotics detective of having sex with her daughter, whom he had previously charged with drug possession. The daughter told investigators that the detective sent her nude photos and then leveraged her charges to get her to return the favor.

"If he's doing it to me, he's doing it to somebody else," the daughter told investigators.

It's not the officer, it's the department and everyone in it.

Cases like these are why people say ACAB.
