Donald Black, a 23-year veteran of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, whose service record is most notable for numerous disciplinary actions and civil lawsuits costing the Sacramento County taxpayers $400,000 to date -- and who has thus far eluded any actual prosecution, thanks to a DA's office who doesn't even care to investigate its own
killer cops -- now stands accused of molesting a teen.
Arrested on suspicion of five counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child 14 or 15 years old, Black now faces what he's never faced under DA Jan Scully's watch: actual prosecution by actual attorneys working with an actual police department.
Yes, even after Black and fellow deputies badly burned two men in police custody, resulting in a "civil lawsuit and an administrative claim that ultimately resulted in
Sacramento County paying more than $300,000 in damages," DA Scully's Office, which supposedly investigated the incident, said there were
“questions” but "not enough evidence" to criminally prosecute
Black or his fellow deputies.
What a surprise.
Scully has yet to issue a comment on whether her office also knew that Black was molesting children.
But Nevada County isn't Sacramento County. Cops aren't given a free pass by DA to maim and kill anyone they like, without fear of investigation -- as we've covered here at length in our
Jan Scully and
killer cops sections.
