Lansing, MI — For those who doubt the existence of blue privilege and the ability of cops to escape accountability for unspeakable crimes, the following case should serve as proof it is real. When an officer of the law is caught exploiting and abusing society’s most vulnerable — children — and they can escape any significant jail time, this is definitive proof of blue privilege. Disgraced Lansing police officer Matthew Priebe is all the proof you need.
In August, Priebe pleaded no contest to second-degree criminal sexual conduct, attempted fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, misconduct in office and two counts of assault and battery. The charges all stemmed from his role as a school resource officer and the repeated sexual assault of multiple young girls while on the job. In exchange for his no-contest plea, prosecutors dropped the charge of distributing sexually explicit material to a minor. On Tuesday, we was sentenced to just one year in jail.
The charge of distributing sexually explicit material to a minor was dropped in spite of prosecutors having the photos of Priebe’s erect penis that he sent to the children. The Livingston County Prosecutor William Vailliencourt said that Priebe’s plea deal would guarantee that he would spend no more than 12 months in jail and they followed through on their promise. This former school cop will, however, have to register as a sex offender.
“To say you violated your role as a police officer would be an understatement,” Judge Joyce Draganchuk said to Priebe at his sentencing Tuesday, according to CNN-affiliate WILX .
Court records show that Priebe sent photos of himself to the child victims of him sitting on the couch with his erect penis exposed. He would also send videos of himself in the shower at the police department.
According to the Lansing State Journal,
The youngest victim connected to the charges was 14 and the oldest was 17 at the time of the sexual assault, Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Angela Hunt testified at a hearing that led to criminal charges. The assaults took place during a three-year period.
The then-17-year-old told investigators Priebe said he wished she had a fake ID, and that he wanted to take her out of state with him, Hunt testified. He told her he wished he could kiss her, and attempted to kiss her for five or six months.
Priebe played with the holes in her jeans near her thigh and would ask her if she wanted to touch his penis, Hunt said.
During a ride along, Priebe stopped his patrol vehicle and attempted to kiss the girl, Hunt said. When she tried to push him off, Priebe grabbed her hand and pulled it toward his crotch.
