Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to detain former Kansas City, Kansas, Police detective Roger Golubski until trial, arguing that “no condition or combination of conditions will assure the safety of other people or the community” if he’s allowed to go free.
A hearing Monday before a federal magistrate judge will determine whether the ex-cop should remain in custody or be released on bond before trial.
In an unusually graphic 25-page motion released late Friday, prosecutors fleshed out the bare-bones indictment unsealed on Thursday, revealing details of the alleged sexual assaults Golubski committed against two women over 20 years ago. (View the full motion below.)
The motion portrays Golubski — who worked for the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department from 1975 until his retirement as a captain in 2010 — as a a cop who relentlessly exploited vulnerable Black women for sex and who threatened to imprison or murder them or their relatives if they ever told anyone what he did.
