Actually, I think less of This Land for sensationalizing the story. He is a stupid cop for having done stuff and should probably be fired for doing it in his uniform, but everyone has heard of disgruntled mates who accuse their philandering ex's (married or not) of sexual deviance, child abuse or whatever the most unseemly thing they can think of to punish them. This is tabloid stuff and I had thought better of This Land. The alleged pic of Kellerhas was voyeuristic and un-necessary. But I did enjoy it....

yowzah! Calling Larry Flint....

It's much less funny when you get to the allegations of child pornography.

The police chief's response was downright cryptic:    The allegations reported to the Police Department, and later published in "This Land," were stored on a privately owned computer and were password protected.
On advice of the City Legal Department, the Police Department was unable to legally access that information.

The only sensational aspect of the story was the gratuitous cleavage shot, if that was even the officer's...uh...set.  It's newsworthy when someone who was sworn to serve and protect may be engaging in illegal explicit activity, and someone who is on public payroll is getting their jollies while on duty.

Yes. I do agree it seems sensationalized by TLP. Especially, in comparison to Henderson et al. And I agree with your cleavage observation.


Was harm done? Does not appear so except to a couple of cops credibility. I wonder if they have had exemplary records in the field while on duty?

Nope. But I have a ignorant Brother who did.

Getting a hummer on duty in the squad car doesn't really rise to the level of exemplary.

This all happened over 2 years ago. Why has it taken this long to become public knowledge?

Also, I am surprised that an alleged pedophile would engage with both children and adults. I thought they only went one way. Is this not unusual?

The one incident happened two years ago, the rest has been ongoing according to the story.

My bet is he just has a bunch of school/young girl type porn and it sounds better by saying they look like they're underage.

My first thought are all the "teen" porn sights that have 18 and 19 year olds (or at least that's the claim).

FOX23 also contacted the Tulsa Police Department to see whether King's status as a Captain and field officer would change after the filing of the protective order. One provision of some protective orders is that the respondent can not have access to weapons, thus jeopardizing King's job status.
