A retired high-ranking Kansas cop accused of corruption and sexual exploitation of vulnerable Black women during his multiple-decade career has been arrested by the FBI.
Former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective Roger Golubski was charged with six counts of federal civil rights crimes for claims he sexually assaulted two victims while acting under the color of law.
Rape allegations against Golubski materialized after Lamonte McIntyre’s exoneration in 2017. Golubski framed McIntyre for a double homicide after his mother refused his sexual coercion. As more victims surfaced, McIntyre’s attorneys estimated that the former detective preyed on 70 women.
The federal indictment did not name the victims. It shows Golubski raped the women on multiple occasions from 1998 to 2002, most of which happened in his vehicle. He is also accused of aggravated sexual abuse and kidnapping. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.
Ophelia Williams, who told reporters that Golubski raped her in 1999, said an FBI agent called her early morning Sept. 15 to tell her he was nabbed.
“She put him in handcuffs herself,” Williams said. “I was so happy. Oh, so happy. Crying and stuff.”
Golubski worked in law enforcement for over 35 years. He became a Kansas City detective in 1986 and was promoted to captain in 2002 before retiring in 2010. After collecting his pension, he worked as a detective for the Edwardsville Police Department until 2016.
