Photo: Instagram The police department in Louisville, Kentucky, has launched an investigation into sexual-assault allegations against one of the officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.
Borders said that for months she blamed herself for taking the ride home. “I never reported him out of fear of retaliation,” she said. “Who do you call when the person who assaulted you is a police officer? Who were they going to believe? I knew it wouldn’t be me. The Louisville Metro Police Department did not return the Cut’s request for comment, but a spokesperson told the Louisville Courier Journal that the LMPD is “aware of these allegations and investigators are looking into them. If anyone has information about these cases, we encourage them to call 574-7144.”
“Hankinson needs to be held accountable and the LMPD needs to be held accountable,” said John Olash, the lawyer representing Terry. “For reasons unknown, the LMPD has seemed to feel the need to protect Hankinson.” The women who have accused the officer of harassment and assault are meeting on Thursday to discuss their legal options.
In a federal lawsuit from October 2019, a man named Kendrick Wilson accused Hankison of planting drugs on him while working off-duty as a security guard at bars, as well as harassing and arresting him unnecessarily. Wilson called Hankinson a “dirty cop” with a “vendetta” against him. Hankinson has denied the allegations and the lawsuit is still pending, but two of the cases related to Wilson’s arrests have been dismissed, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.
