This part is really crazy. PSU has no business determining criminal charges. That's not their job and they made a bad call. It should have gone to the commonwealth attorney. KRS says sex between a juvenile and a police officer is non-consensual. Ignoring allegations like that without investigating and informing prosecutors could be interpreted as conspiracy to conceal the original crime.

"The internal investigation by the department's professional standards unit found that Betts violated police procedures but committed no criminal acts involving the girl. There was no investigation into the male teenager's allegations, and Betts avoided any discipline by leaving the department in April 2014. Police Chief Steve Conrad closed that case "by exception" when Betts resigned, saying "no further action need be taken."
