CNN — A veteran homicide detective in Kansas City, Kansas conspired with a local drug kingpin to help run a sex-trafficking operation involving underage girls.
Roger Golubski, a retired 35-year-veteran of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department allegedly used his position to shield the operation from law enforcement investigations, according to the 3-count indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Topeka. Golubski entered a plea of not guilty, said his attorney, Chris Joseph.
The sex trafficking operation, which was run out of an apartment complex in the 1990s by a local crack dealer named Cecil Brooks & 2 other men, victimized girls as young as 13.
In exchange for his protection, Golubski collected cash from Brooks & was allowed to “choose girls to provide him sexual services.”
Golubski, who retired from the police department in 2010, was charged in September with sexually assaulting a woman & a teenage girl 2 decades ago “while acting under color of law,” meaning he used his position as a police officer to commit the crimes. He has pleaded not guilty.
As he awaited trial under home confinement in that case, prosecutors unveiled a second indictment on Monday charging him with “conspiracy against rights” & 2 counts of “involuntary servitude” in connection with the alleged sex trafficking ring. Both cases stem from a years-long grand jury probe.
According to Monday’s indictment, Brooks recruited “young girls who were runaways” or came from broken homes & kept them locked in a room at an apartment complex where he and co-defendants LeMark Roberson & Richard “Bone” Robinson used threats & physical beatings to force them to engage in sex acts. The indictment refers to 2 unidentified victims who allege they were held captive & forced into sex.
One of the victims told authorities she was just 16 years old when Golubski pulled her hair, choked her & raped her.
