Cop concerned in Breonna Taylor Killing, Accused of ‘Violent’ On-responsibility Sexual attack

 On September 23, knowing that there would be backlash for his or her decision, streets in downtown Louisville were blocked off officials, police placed on high alert, and government buildings were boarded up as officials announced the fees against former officer Brett Hankison for his role within the raid which left Breonna Taylor dead.

The subsequent outrage was well deserved as Hankison wasn't charged for all the world that led to the death of Taylor. Instead, this trigger happy cowboy cop was charged with “first-degree wanton endangerment” for shooting sort of a madman into neighboring apartments during the raid.

Now, the previous officer Hankison is finally getting some attention but not for his role in murdering Breonna Taylor. This attention comes within the sort of a lawsuit accusing the officer of statutory offense and rape.

The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, calls Hankison a “sexual predator” who “used his police uniform and secondary nightclub employment as mechanisms to take advantage of innocent women who are 20 years younger than him.”

According to the alleged victim, law graduate Margo Borders, she met Hankison in 2017 and that they had a mutual friend. Hankison “frequently messaged” Borders on Snapchat and reached resolute her when he was “having problems along with his girlfriend,” in line with the lawsuit.

On the night in question, Borders was intoxicated and attempted to require an Uber home from a neighborhood bar where Hankison was working security in uniform. However, Hankison insisted on driving her, per the lawsuit. Hankison then invited himself into Borders’ apartment as Borders visited her room and fell asleep. per the lawsuit, when she was unconscious, Hankison “willfully, intentionally, painfully and violently sexually assaulted” her.

When Borders regained consciousness, she yelled for Hankison to urge off her; he then grabbed his uniform and left her room, in line with the lawsuit. Later that day, Hankison messaged Borders “to try to suggest that the 2 had engaged in consensual relations,” per the lawsuit.

“Margo and then many other women put their trust in what they thought was a law officer doing a decent deed. He responded by damaging their lives,” said Sam Aguiar, one among Borders attorneys. “We are confident that this litigation will send a message that the community will hold the police accountable when the department itself fails to try to do so.”

Aguiar, who represented Breonna Taylor’s family in their lawsuit, says this wasn’t an isolated incident. Borders’ lawsuit includes claims from nine other women who claim everything from unwanted sexual advances to a sex offense.

In fact, per the lawsuit, Hankison’s internal local department file details quite 50 internal reports, including “at least two Public Integrity Unit investigations including allegations of sexual misconduct.”

However, when the department conducted an investigation, they acquitted Hankison of the accusations — an unsurprising move considering that he wasn’t charged in Taylor’s case until the general public demanded it for six months.

In June, Borders shared her story on social media.

In an impassioned post on Facebook, Borders, who studied law at the University of Louisville, said her assault occurred in 2018 and he or she had nowhere to travel because her rapist was a cop.

In April of 2018, I went bent on a bar with some friends. I visited call an uber home and a lawman who I had interacted with on many occasions at bars in St. Matthews offered me a ride home. He drove me place uniform, in his marked car, invited himself into my apartment, and sexually assaulted me while I used to be unconscious.
It took me months to process what had happened and to appreciate that it wasn’t my fault and that I didn’t enkindle that to happen by allowing him to provide me a ride home. I never reported him out of fear of retaliation. I had no proof of what happened and he had a favorable position because he was a lawman. Who does one call when the one that assaulted you could be a police officer? Who were they visiting believe? I knew it wouldn’t be me. ‬
‪In ‬March of 2020, that very same officer and two others (John Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove) entered the house of Breonna Taylor under a no-knock warrant and with absolutely no regard for anyone’s life shot over 22 rounds murdering Breonna Taylor while she was sleeping.
Brett Hankison encompasses a history of violence, regulatory offense, and planting drug evidence on people. There are multiple allegations against this man and reports but all cases dropped and no disciplinary action taken.
He is currently on paid leave in Florida on the beach.
I implore all of you to demand justice for all of his victims, but most demand justice for Breonna Taylor.
Contact the attorney general Daniel Cameron to charge him and therefore the LMPD Professional Standards Unit to fireside him. https://www.cameronforkentucky.com/contact/

If you’re not angry, you’re not taking notes.

Emily Terry, Hankison’s other alleged victim, tells the same story of a cop preying on drunk women after the bars closed. the sole difference is that the sex crime started within the car on the way home. Unlike Borders, Terry’s case was allegedly reported to police, who apparently took no action.

In fact, the lawsuit, alleges that colleagues of Hankison at the LMPD, including former Chief Steve Conrad, knew of his conduct but never reported or investigated it. It also alleges that “multiple women claim that reports made to LMPD over the incidents were made, but weren't pursued.”

Given the actual fact that the department refused to analyze or charge the officers involved in Taylor’s death, it should come as no surprise that they'd also cover allegations of rape against their officers. this is often the character of the skinny blue line.
