No. From the best I know, this involves a child, and an adult's oath (report) of an incident. I'm 99.9% confident this is a false report. Multiple lives have been messed up, and more will follow.

Re: Sheriff's office and civil rights
I have to get dashcams. Been meaning to for many years.Txtension wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 10:31 am I have been stopped a few times, and in every one of those stops where I declined to answer incriminating questions, the officer has asked who my employer was.
I stopped answering that question too, when the director of my department pulled me into his office with HR to "get my side of the story." Said an officer called him directly. Nothing came of that incident, and Internal Affairs buried my complaint.
I was ready to sue for slander/libel (my dashcam footage proves the officer is a liar).

Re: Sheriff's office and civil rights
Thanks. The damages here are a destroyed life and reputation, but the awards may not be enough for a lawyer to take a chance on contingency. I'm not real close to this case, but close enough to make suggestions.Rob72 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:39 am IANAL, however, having a reasonable amount of time in their company...
If the arrest was "inflagrante delecto", or "immediately in the act," and/or if the preponderance of available evidence is compelling, it would be a matter for redress on appeal, relating to biasing the jury pool, fair trial, etc,. Thousands of underemployed attorneys make such attempts every day.
If the arrest was of an individual with no significant history, no readily available substantive evidence, and/or if there is evidence of malfeasance on the part of the complainant or the Officers/Dept., then yes, that would be a classic civil rights case.

Sheriff's office and civil rights
Civil rights is a term that can cause you to roll your eyes, but please consider the following.
If a sheriff arrests a person for a heinous crime on the basis of a complaint with no other evidence, and then makes a bragging post on social media without all the legally required "according to" and "alleged" language, making it read like there are no disputed "facts", then he or she is guilty of violating the civil rights of the accused, correct?
If so, the sheriff has lost his or her indemnity of office, and may be sued personally, correct?
