- A West Virginia police chief paid $100 to rape a teen — and tried to cover it up
>C.H. had reported that her stepmother sold her to be raped for $100 when she was 17 years old. The buyer, she told the sheriff’s department, wasn’t just anyone — it was Police Chief Larry Clay. While he was in uniform and on duty. The first time, against his department-issued vehicle. The second, inside a police office. > >Clay, 55, and the stepmother, 27, were both charged with sex trafficking of a minor. > >It was the second time in Gauley Bridge’s history that a police chief had been charged with child sexual abuse. The first time, in the late 1990s, nearly 100 people had protested the arrest, declaring their loyalty to the chief. > >This time, too, the chief was adamant about his innocence. Clay, who declined to comment to The Washington Post, hired an attorney and pleaded not guilty. C.H.’s furious stepfather told his neighbors that C.H. was just an angry teen, lying to get her stepmother in trouble.

A Canadian provincial officer allegedly threw away part of an accident victim's skull to spite the victim's mother, resulting in a 15-day suspension for the official.
Sgt. Sébastien Plouffe threw part of the 14-year-old motorcycle accident victim's skull into a ravine in 2021 after being chastised by the victim's mother for the way law enforcement handled the scene of the accident.
Plouffe, who lied about his actions on a report, admitted the truth a few days later when the family attempted to retrieve the skull part in order to cremate the victim. He returned to the location of the ravine and attempted to search for the missing piece of bone, but was unsuccessful. A larger search was conducted at the scene with additional officials, and the skull part was eventually located.

> In Gauley Bridge,” prosecutors told the jury, “Larry Clay was the law.”
> C.H. had reported that her stepmother sold her to be raped for $100 when she was 17 years old. The buyer, she told the sheriff’s department, wasn’t just anyone — it was Police Chief Larry Clay. While he was in uniform and on duty. The first time, against his department-issued vehicle. The second, inside a police office.
> Clay, 55, and the stepmother, 27, were both charged with sex trafficking of a minor.
> When Clay spent his shifts doing nothing but parking his cruiser and waiting for speeding cars, Pack was asked to counsel Clay on taking more initiative. When Clay hastily pulled a gun on a hiking tourist, Pack was told to coach him on being less impulsive.
> The family was struggling to keep the electricity and water paid. Then, her stepmother approached her with a way of getting cash, an idea from Clay.
> “He brought it up to her that he was sexually interested in me,” C.H. said. “We needed the money for bills.”
> C.H. tried to describe it without feeling it. Her head being forced down. Then her body on the hood of the chief’s car. “He was raping me,” C.H. testified. “Did you say anything to him during this?” Herrald asked. “Too scared,” C.H. said, balling her hands in her lap.
> She testified that she saw Clay give Naylor-Legg the cash. She would later learn it was $100.
