In the ensuing days, one sexual crime after another showed up in the county. A ploy to take the attention off the Sheriff. Sex crimes are shockers. People can't believe humans treat one another. Thus the focus changes.
A clever reporter/journalist saw this. Waiting. Wondering what the Sheriff would do, as he was not one to be anything but a champion, the newspaper man kept probing.
Then it happened. A muffled phone call.
"I'm sorry that I must distort my voice. Somebody. Someone has to hear what is going on. He's a megalomaniac. This is the tip of the iceberg. What I will tell you is this. He plants this stuff. Goes after innocent people, shady people, people with a past. They don't have the money to defend themselves. Everyone likes a good sex crime. Especially involving children. I am not saying these people aren't guilty; I am saying he is setting people up."
"Look we all have jobs, families, children. No one, not a soul in the Department will talk. Tighter than a *%#!'s butt."
The journalistic wanted more information.
"Will anyone else document this?"
"I'll try to talk to some of the guys. There is this woman, she's not a guy. You know what I mean. Cops are tight with one another. They don't break rank."
"But he has been after her. She is fed up. Single mother."
"Okay, let's do this. Talk to your contacts, see who wants to see justice prevail. Get back to me."
