Jack Morgan

Rape In Liberty County Jack Morgan

A local sheriff is watching a nighttime baseball game. A woman, who he recognizes, approaches him in the high school stands.

She says, "My daughter is being raped by your deputy."

He races to his patrol car. He is about to leave the parking lot when she waves him down and says, "They have it all on video."

Moments later he receives a call from the deputy accused of sexual assault.

He orders the deputy to meet him at a nearby park. He calls a patrol car heading for the victim's house and orders the officer to stay away from the crime scene.

He finds the deputy at the designated park leaning against his van with his arms spread far apart. There is blood streaming down his face. His left eye is swollen completely shut and his lips are busted. The deputy tries to talk but only stutters in broken sentences.

The sheriff refuses to take the deputy's statement. He leaves him at the park in the care of two officers while he travels directly to the home of the victim.

The victim's family gives the sheriff a copy of a video recording. The sheriff demands the original but the family refuses to turn it over.

The victim's brother-in-law says, "The original video is buried safely somewhere in the county."

More evidence of more possible victims turns up by midnight. The video hits the internet and then the local television news.

It does not take long and more women come forward to accuse the same deputy.

This novel is based on true life events which were documented in court records and the facts may be stranger than fiction.
