Paul Humphrey is an Indianapolis Metro Police officer though he is currently suspended. He was arrested after police were informed by a school official that a student had been inappropriately touched by an adult and their investigation led to him.
During the interview, the child reported that she had known Humphrey since she was second grade. She said Humphrey “had sex” with her fifteen times during her sophomore year, that he put a tracking app on her phone, and that she acquiesced because she felt pressured because he was a father figure and a police officer.
She ended the abuse by the end of the year, telling Humphrey, “This isn’t what people like you are supposed to do. This is what people like you are supposed to protect people from.”
He was charged with;
- Four counts of sexual misconduct with a minor
- Three counts of child seduction (Really, Indiana, can’t you change the name?)
- One count of obstruction of justice
- One count of official misconduct
- One count of voyeurism
Police were notified that he was going to kill himself. When they arrived, he was in a room with two gas generators running. They performed CPR and he was taken to a hospital. He was arrested a week later.
