The victim, G.H., is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who met Officer Rodney Vicknair of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) in May 2020 when she was just 14 years old, according to a copy of the lawsuit filed in a Louisiana federal court by her mother and obtained by Inside Edition Digital.

At the time, Vicknair had been dispatched to the scene of a sexual assault and took G.H. to a local children’s hospital so a rape kit could be performed, according to the suit.

Soon after the second rape Vicknair was arrested and later confessed to raping G.H. He died in prison earlier this year from a brain tumor, having served less than a year of his 14-year sentence.

    It isn’t unheard of for a brain tumor to drastically alter someone’s personality and decision making ability. For the sake of my faith in humanity, I hope that is what happened here.

      Yes. Experiencing this now. It’s crazy how fragile a person’s identity/personality is. It’s fucking terrifying.

      Don’t you think someone with a brain tumor should be taken out of the workforce and put in hospice care? Not being out on the street as a police officer, this is disgusting

        Brain tumors don’t make you the opposite of who you were. What they can do is remove some inhibitions and self control.

        Yeah take those down votes for expressing your overall feelings on people based on your day to day interactions. They don’t line up with other people’s experiences so they are wrong. They also make people feel bad! How could you make them think about that?
