A Utah cop kept explicit photos of a terrified college track star who was being sextorted by her ex — and showed them off to a colleague just days before the young athlete was murdered, according to his force and a damning report Sunday.
University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey, 21, went to campus cops in October 2018 because she was so scared of her blackmailer — twisted ex Melvin Rowland, 37, a registered sex offender — she had already paid an initial $1,000 demand, the Salt Lake Tribune said.
Officer Miguel Deras then saved the explicit images onto his personal phone, showing at least one male colleague — and bragging about being able to ogle them at any time, according to the Tribune’s investigation.
Just nine days after she reported the case, McCluskey was shot dead by Rowland — who then killed himself the same day.
“The people who were supposed to be helping and protecting Lauren were actually exploiting her,” the murdered student’s outraged mother, Jill McCluskey, told the paper.
“I wish that Deras had used his time to arrest the man who was committing crimes against Lauren.”
McCluskey’s parents had last year already filed a $56 million lawsuit over the police handling of the case. An independent review found Deras did little to investigate the case even when the victim reported attempts to lure her out of her dorm, the paper said.

I know. I see a lot of young white women in Walmart looking very much impoverished and caring for a mixed-race baby. They're almost always alone. I rarely see the woman and the kid's father together. I certainly don't know any statistics, but my impression is that it usually just doesn't work out.
That having been said, I have a cousin who is married to a really nice black guy. He's from Jamaica and not from U.S. urban streets, so maybe that helps explain it.
Gee...why?I suppose it could be that the cop and his behavior is the subject of the this story. The racial angle, by my recollection, was well reported at the time.
The additional links in this article don't shy away from it: Murdered University of Utah student was victim of sextortion
Just thinking out loud.I've thought the same. Sort of a "malpractice insurance" for cops.
And yet...
The article shows a picture of the victim.
No pictures of the criminal.
According to Dr. Clarissa Cole, in her personal experience fully 50% of the would-be cops she gave a pre-employment psych eval to and FAILED were hired anyway.

Simple fix: Hold the hiring manager who violated the rules (thereby losing sovereign immunity) fully criminally and civilly liable for any crimes and civil rights violation the psychopath they, personally, hired commits.
Break them, destroy their rights, seize all the finances and property. Do it VERY publicly.
Word will quickly get around that doing the equivalent of throwing a rattlesnake into a kindergarten is a bad, bad idea...
yep.
No black or white dude is going to want to even think about being a step dad.
“I see a lot of young white women in Walmart looking very much impoverished and caring for a mixed-race baby. They’re almost always alone. I rarely see the woman and the kid’s father...”
destroy their rights
should be:
destroy their lives
Victim...21, white and a student
Ex-boyfriend/murderer...37, black and a registered sex-offender.
“First thing I wondered about was why an attractive 21 yo girl would have anything to do with a 37 yo man that was NOT a sugar daddy...”
He was a big bad club bouncer (though he took the “easy” way out when the cops were on his tail). And i believe he lied about his age.
Ex-boyfriend/murderer...37, black and a registered sex-offender.

Smooth talker with a big stick would be my guess.
That would be putting a LOT of trust in (what I consider) a sham profession, though. Shrinks seldom seem to get anything right.
Probably.
If you have a better way to weed out sociopaths from positions of power, I’m (as the Ferengi Quark said) all ears...
Dittos from Florida.
Well, I got married at the age of 30 to 27 yo lady and she has not gotten rid of me yet... I have no way of disproving your statements; my comments are based upon my own observation of others.
Blacks that immigrate here have about as much in common with our own domestic PoC with African ancestry as my pure-bred terrier has in common with a Wolf.
One of the things that it is not politic to say is that any tribal or national leaders in west africa from around 1500-1800 never had to worry about a prison system or even executing the worst of the worst. Criminals in that area just got sold off to idiot euros for 300 years. Far too many of the apples have not rolled far enough away from the ancestral trees...
God I love Africa... Humiliating, humbling, and otherwise taking arrogant euro dweebs to the cleaners for 600 years. And here we worry about exploiting them!!! LOL
When I was in college I dated a beautiful young woman who was the daughter of a guy who owned banks in Alabama. She was a “good girl” and getting past first base was out of the question.
Out of nowhere she starts avoiding me, but when I did catch up to her, she would be very clingy.
One day, after I was looking for her everywhere, her roommate told me about “the other guy.” He was a municipal bus driver, black, and married with children. The details of the relation were kinky, as she was pretty much the family sex slave.
Well raised white girls can go very, very bad - very, very fast.
I suppose there are some where their sociopathy is glaringly obvious, where you don’t even need some shrink to tell you that. Don’t hire those.
Other than that, best I can think of is getting rid of them the first time they transgress, no ifs or buts. No such thing as “perfect” in the real world.
she was a well liked and accomplised young woman and was a great athlete and student. unfortunately, she met up with a lying, bastard sexual predator and there was no way she knew of his history...
the university cops didn't follow up on her claims and they failed her in ever single way....
as for this cop, this hater of women, this lover of perversion, for him I hope the people of Logan utah throw his sorry ass off their police force and somebody in that state had better bring charges....
I hope the parents personally sue this cop and I know they're suing the university and I hope they get a billion bucks....
