Fort Valley Campus Cop Arrested for Rape of Student

Again, another older story that I can't report timely because it didn't make national headlines.  I have to rely on local news from other parts of the country.

WXGA:

"FT. VALLEY, Ga -- The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrests and charges former Fort Valley State University officer in sexual assault investigation.

In a release from the GBI, 52-year-old Wilbur Bryant was arrested and charged with simply battery (misdemeandor), bribery (felony), and 2 counts of violation of oath of office (felony).
In Magistrate court this morning his bond was set at $10,000.
Bryant is a former Lieutenant with FVSU Police Department."

Thank God all of these young people know how to record somebody while they're on the phone with them.  A young woman's mother explains how her experience with Bryant came to pass, how her daughter had the presence of mind and technological know-how to stop him.

As explained in the video, significant complaints against Bryant go back a decade.  Yet his performance reviews rant and rave about him like they've never heard a word.  I'm old enough to remember the word "co-ed,"  short for "co-educational."  Because back then women didn't belong in colleges and they resented allowing us in there at all.  Not like now, right Harrison Buttker?

Bryant was ultimately allowed to resign rather than being fired.

It makes you wonder how the rape kit ever got backlogged.

Then there's this situation:

From 11Alive:

"A Peach County grand jury has indicted seven people accused in a sex scandal at Fort Valley State University

Among the indicted was Alecia Johnson, a former executive assistant to the Fort Valley State president. She was accused of arranging acts between at least one woman and six men. She's also accused of prostitution herself."

So apparently at this same school where Officer Creeper was allegedly stalking the student athletes, the people in the main office were allegedly coordinating escort services with one of the sororities.  Other than that, fantastic school. 

It kind of makes sense how Wilbur Bryant got those rave performance reviews despite the many significant sexual abuse claims in his file.
