The local news has been bandying about regarding the "LMPD sex scandal" but I hadn't been paying much attention until I saw the accused's names the other day.  I knew that one of the names sounded familiar when I heard it.  WDRB story
Officer Brandon Wood was indicted on seven counts of sexual abuse with one alleged victim and given a $10,000 bond by Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Angela Bisig. Woods allegedly abused a juvenile in 2011 and 2012, according to the indictment.

Former Officer Kenneth Betts was charged with two counts of sodomy involving two different alleged victims and his bond was set at $15,000. Arrest warrants were issued for both men. The indictment alleges that Betts committed sodomy in the first degree between April 1, 2007 and September 12, 2007 by "engaging in deviate sexual intercourse" with a victim  through the use of "forcible compulsion."  And Betts is accused of sodomy in the third degree on July 26, 2013, with a minor "he came into contact with as a result" of his position as a police officer.

A lawsuit, filed last month, by Metro Council President and attorney David Yates, claims Betts and Wood raped a male teenager - identified by the initials N.C. - between 2011 and 2013 while he was in the Explorer program and accuses the department of covering up the case.

One of these guys was in a business association with which I used to be involved, where he promoted his CCDW Instruction business called "Metro Tactical Training."
He became a Police Explorer at the age of 14 and volunteered several thousand hours to the community assisting the police department with several functions.
[...]
Kenneth helped to form the Kentucky Law Enforcement Explorer Academy where he has served for seven years as the Assistant Academy Director.

Weird shit  I don't think he's in the association any  more and the FB page looks abandoned, but he's still listed on the DOCJT page as an instructor.  Anyone take a class with this guy?  Did he touch you?

I took a hazmat class with Betts. He was fingered for the safety program under the police surgeon about that time.

"Fingered"??!!  I think I would have used a different word for this story. What about "selected" or "chosen"?
