Police officer released easily after sexual acts with children

A former reserve police officer and truant officer, Scott Bramhall (43), was arrested Knox County Jail on one count of sexual contact and one count of sexual touching. He was using a knife during the sexual acts. The mother of the victim claimed that Bramhall had physically threatened her 9-year-old daughter around the time of December school vacation. At that time he was under investigation for having sexual contact involving her daughter. Judge Patricia Worth at Sixth District Court approved that Bramhall had harassed the child.
Conditions of his bail include no contact with children under age 16 except his own two children, no contact with the victim, and being prohibited from going to the victim's school or residence. He was released on $1,000 cash bail. Scott Bramhall was also arrested earlier this year in Lincoln County on a sex charge involving a 16-years-old boy. This case was later dropped by the district attorney's office.

Attorney Geoffrey Rushlau announced that the case involving the 9-year-old girl should not be considered closed finally. ”If significant new information becomes available, the case will be reevaluated.”

You folks here at policebrutality don't seem to get it. Sure cops commit crimes, and when they are caught, they are prosecuted more often than not, more harshly than if your ordinary citizen committed the same crime. The reason cops commit crimes, is because they are human, and humans are open to human frailties, which include committing crime. It's apparently that you get your kicks pointing out when cops are the ones caught committing these crimes. What's your point, that you hate cops? Curious to see if this gets printed or censored.

Everyday the Newspapers and Mainstream media is filled with the graft and corruption of Politicians and the Corporate Elite, and time and time again, the American public must sit and watch them plead the fifth and/or claim executive privilege,... at worst, they get a slap on the wrist or Pardoned Later by their Cohorts occupying powerful positions in Public office.

In recent years, a number of Police officers have murdered citizens in cold blood because of mistaken identity or for committing lesser infractions.

It is more then obvious that those in Public Authority are immediately offered the benefit of doubt and receive much more consideration then the average Man on the street, so I can only conclude that someone who believes that Law enforcement persons get harsher Punishment then the Average Citizen for committing the same criminal acts, must be living in some surreal, Fantasy land that I have never been privy to.

So...Who's to blame if he hurts or kills another child? He sounds dangerous to me.

Turn him over to a group of stay at home moms and let them decide his punishment.

any person who harms a child sexually or physically needs to be in custody. children should be protected from predators. how can those who let these people go free sleep at night? hang them all from the picasso.

I don't understand the point of this section. Of course there will be instances when people employed as police officers commit sexual crimes. Why not have a page for construction workers that commit sex crimes?.. What's the point of this? Its obvious someone got their weed "stolen by the cops" to come up with this site. We get it, you don't like police... Who do you call first when your house gets burglarized or you car gets stolen. ...... This will probably be censored because its not far-left propaganda.

You people are all crazy. Police are supposed to know and uphold the law better than anybody. Police officers should all have to lead by example, and the ones that break the law should face stricter punishment because of this. I don't think there should be any such thing as suspension with pay. If the officers in question didn't think they could get away with stuff so easily, they might think twice about abusing their power.
