1800 police officers were charged with child sexual abuse.
00:02
From 2005 to 2022.
00:04
They targeted groomed and violated Children in every state in the US
00:08
Even worse. Nearly 40% of convicted officers avoided prison sentences
00:14
and some officers were accused of child sexual abuse on police reports
00:19
but were charged with non sexual crimes instead like misconduct.
00:25
One officer sexually abused a girl in his patrol car and another
00:30
during questioning at a police station,
00:32
cops regularly met the Children through work such as during investigations or
00:37
arrests or while doing acts of community service reports found that police
00:43
spent months grooming the Children and threatened them with arrest to silence
00:48
them. This is why some cops get into the business.
00:51
It's sad porque, they get away with it.
00:53
Yeah. And again,

police departments have enabled this to happen by ignoring red flags while
00:59
the courts have allowed the accused cops to avoid prison.
01:02
And there's a national tracker for officers accused of child abuse.
01:05

01:09
Like again, we're supposed to go to these guys for
01:12
for help to feel secure,
01:14
but they're abusing their power and then they're,
01:18
sadly that's why some,
01:19
some cops, not all cops,
01:20
but some cops go into the business because they're like,
01:23
oh, well, I'm gonna get like,
01:25
a little slap on the wrist or not even,
01:27
you know, and I can freely commit things like this.
