Retired Detective & Kansas City Drug Kingpin Charged With Conspiring to Run Underage Sex Trafficking Operation
Retired detective and Kansas City drug kingpin charged with conspiring to run an underage sex-trafficking operation
A veteran homicide detective in Kansas City, Kansas conspired with a local drug kingpin to help run a sex-trafficking operation involving underage girls, prosecutors alleged in an explosive indictment th as t was recently unsealed.
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 three-count indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Topeka. Golubski had 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 and two other men, victimized girls as young as 13, according to prosecutors.
In exchange for his protection, Golubski collected cash from Brooks and was allowed to “choose girls to provide him sexual services,” the indictment alleges.
Golubski, who retired from the police department was charged with sexually assaulting a woman and a teenage girl two 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 to those charges as well.
As he awaited trial under home confinement in that case, prosecutors unveiled a second indictment charging him with “conspiracy against rights” and two counts of “involuntary servitude” in connection with the alleged sex trafficking ring.
