WHISTLEBLOWER asking for our help getting the word out.
This person just contacted me on Facebook and asked me for help getting the word out.
"I am a former police officer who served in the now disbanded Village of Corinth, NY Police Department. I was fired for investigating a politically connected child molester named Trevor Downie after being instructed to cover it up. Downie owned a local restaurant called Jack’s Place that was purchased through then Corinth Mayor Brad Winslow’s real estate company Winslow Realty. Winslow received approximately $20,000 from this real estate transaction. I received information that Downie was molesting minor females as well as harassing his other female employees. I turned this information over to then Police Chief Robert Kane and instructed one of the victim’s mothers to contact him. Kane directed her to go to the Department of Labor and instructed me to cover things up because of the relationship between Downie and Winslow. I rejected the unlawful order and took a detailed three paged statement of abuse from one of the victims. Kane and Winslow found out about this statement from Downie as he was stalking me and one of the victims and Kane ordered me to turn it over. I did. He had it destroyed, wrote me up for insubordination and had me terminated. Afterwards Downie continued to molest new victims with the backing of Police Chief Robert Kane and Mayor Brad Winslow until Downie killed himself. He left a suicide note discussing his actions. My attorney only allowed me to see a portion of it. I never read nor obtained a complete copy of the note. The Corinth Police Department never interviewed any of the minor victims or the perpetrator in this case. I believe Winslow’s realty business relisted and sold the restaurant again after Downie’s suicide.
I have been continuously fighting for justice for over 15 years and I have tried every avenue that I could possibly think of including speaking to the FBI and reaching out to the New York State Moreland Commission on Public Corruption, but I received nothing. The courts ignored factual evidence in the transcript of the legal hearing of my employment that clearly showed Chief Kane did nothing to protect these minor females that were molested and wrote a story full of lies in their decision. The hearing officer admitted on the record that he may have had some real estate dealings with Brad Winslow AKA Winslow Realty. I had two hearings because the first one was conducted without a stenographer. After fighting I received a second hearing that was conducted by the same hearing officer as the first after Downie killed himself. With a continued effort pushing forward I had a case opened and investigated by Investigator Mark Spenser of the New York State Attorney General’s Office. During this investigation I was informed that they developed evidence and could make an arrest but instead I was told by attorney Nancy Snyder who represented the Attorney General’s Office that they would not be making an arrest and they didn’t have the resources to continue with my case. It is my understanding that information I received from Investigator Mark Spencer that there is an undercover tape recording of Chief Kane admitting that I am right. I have tried to FOIL that recording with negative results. I then reached out to New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on several occasions and was shunned. I also reached out to then New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo face to face in person and informed him of what happened to me as a police officer and what happened to the minor females that were molested. He gave me the impression that he was going to help; instead he did nothing. I also reached out to newly elected New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and was blown off again. It is also my understanding that the Village of Corinth, NY admitted to tampering with evidence.
America cannot afford to have its police officers in fear of enforcing the laws against people that are politically connected and committing criminal acts. Furthermore, it is of great concern that there is no protection for police officers against corrupt police administrators. I was politically blocked at every avenue from receiving justice. The Whistleblower Defense was ignored and treated like a Cracker Jack’s box prize by the court system. A failed and weaponized FBI has caused a two-tier justice system amongst several other issues. We need to make an example of and set a precedent against this corruption. My religious beliefs in addition to several other reasons would not allow me to stand by and allow the molestation of children. Please share this information and contact me if you have any ideas that will help.
Thank you."
