A sheriff’s deputy in Los Angeles, Calif. pleaded not guilty Nov. 21 to charges that he’d bound and raped a 14-year-old girl — while he was investigating alleged sex crimes committed against her by another callous creep!
With bail set at $2 million, Neil Kimball, a 20-year-veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, remains in jail on charges of rape by force and preventing or dissuading a victim from testifying.
The shocked cops claim he attacked the “tied or bound” minor in November 2017 in Ventura County while investigating a case with the Special Victims Bureau.

The National ENQUIRER learned that this complaint is the second to come to light against the lawman. Kimball was investigated in 2009 after a woman claimed he’d forced her to touch his genitals, but prosecutors tossed that case, citing lack of evidence.
He joined the Sex Crimes unit in 2013, a sequence of events that puzzled the leader of a police watchdog group.

“If there was a hint — a hint — of any type of sexual harassment or abuse, even if you may not have proof, why are you promoting that person to the sex-crimes unit?” said Patti Giggans, the chair of the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission.
Kimball faces 19 years to life in the slammer if found guilty.
