Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy Sean Essex was first arrested on charges of child molestation in 2006 but the district attorney dismissed the case for unstated reasons.

This week, Essex was indicted on on charges of molesting three other girls between the ages of seven and 13, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. And this time, the the district attorney’s office is choosing to prosecute the recent cases as well as the one in 2006 that had been dismissed.

The district attorney’s office did not provide an explanation as to why it did not prosecute Essex in 2006 but we can assume it was the usual Blue Privilege, especially considering it was a time before smartphones and social media allowed the public to hold police accountable for their crimes. As a result, three other girls were molested over a nine-year period beginning in 2013, according to the Los Angeles Times which spoke to the attorney representing the girls.

Essex, 51, was also fired from the sheriff’s department in 2018 for unspecified reasons while working for the department’s Training Bureau where he was responsible for training new recruits but the county’s Civil Service Commission overturned the termination, according to the Times.

I have nothing but hatred and contempt for predators with a badge like this guy.

They prey on kids' innocence when they're at their most vulnerable and can't fight back...and he has that badge and obvious support by his crooked colleagues to cover up any trouble that comes his way.
