In an explosive new federal lawsuit, five women say the Unified Government knowingly allowed "dirty cops" to sexually exploit them, among numerous other crimes. The lawsuit names disgraced former detective Roger Golubski, who is already facing federal charges, as well as a former police chief who now serves as the U.S. Marshal in Kansas.

Five Black women have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, alleging that officials permitted an “open and notorious police protection racket” to victimize the Black community while detectives committed “regular acts of humiliation and exploitation."

Filed late Friday, the 138-page suit names four former Kansas City, Kansas, Police chiefs and three detectives — including disgraced former detective Roger Golubski, who already faces two federal criminal cases accusing him of sexual assault and protecting a sex trafficking ring of underage girls.
