how does this keep happening you might wonder as cops continue to be free from consequences the rest of us would be slapped with;
Honolulu, HI — For years, the Free Thought Project has been reporting
on case after case of police officers caught raping, molesting, and
abusing their victims. All too often, these officers are let off with
little to no punishment. Many of these officers were caught sexually
abusing children only to be let loose in society after flexing their
blue privilege. In the instance below, that is exactly what happened as a
Honolulu cop will avoid any time behind bars despite multiple child
sexual assault charges.
Disgraced Honolulu officer Teddy O. Van Lerberghe, 45, flexed his
blue privilege when he reached a plea deal with prosecutors guaranteeing
he will not go to jail. This plea deal was based on the victim’s desire
not to see her abuser locked up. This is likely due to the fact that
the victim is a family member.
As the Star Advertiser points out, Deputy
Prosecutor Loren Haugen said in state court Tuesday that he offered
fired Honolulu police officer Teddy Van Lerberghe a plea deal in the
sexual assault case against him involving a victim who was 5-year-old
when the sexual assaults started because that’s what the victim wanted.
“There was one aspect that she did deem quite important. And that by
pleading to the charges, Teddy Van Lerberghe could never, ever again be a
police officer or become a police officer in this state or any state,”
Haugen said.
Circuit Judge Rowena Somerville said she approved the deal only after
she received assurances that the victim and the victim’s family agreed
with it, the Star Advertiser reported.
“The court doesn’t take these matters lightly. These are serious offenses,” she said........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/how-does-this-keep-happening-cop-guilty-of-raping-5yo-girl-gets-no-jail/253421
