"LOUISVILLE, Ky., (WDRB) – Kenneth Betts, one of two former Louisville Metro Police officers indicted Wednesday for allegedly sexual abusing teens while with the department's Explorer program, wrote on Facebook this week that he is innocent.
“I would never do something to harm anyone or a program that did so (much) good,” Betts wrote Thursday on his Facebook page.
“I was not raised nor have I ever wanted or did (sic) hurt someone like they are saying,” Betts wrote in response to comments from friends offering support. “It’s for sure hard on my family and I but I know I have God and so many wonderful family and friends on my side.”
Betts maintains a semi-private Facebook page and doesn’t use his full name on the site. The posts are viewable to his Facebook friends, which include local judges, attorneys, Metro Council members and police officers.
Betts is one of two former officers facing criminal charges and civil litigation resulting from their alleged sexual abuse of teens under their supervision as part of a program for young people interested in law enforcement careers."
I relayed a true story of what happened to me during youth with a Baton Rouge, LA Explorers cop back in the 1970s. At that time, I wrote that ALL "EXPLORERS" PROGRAMS AROUND THE COUNTRY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.
