This morning the Post-Dispatch reported that a former teacher facing charges of statutory rape died yesterday while in the custody of the St. Louis County Jail.

A corrections officer found Brandon Holbrook, 30, unresponsive in his cell around 4 p.m. Monday.

Holbrook's death is the third in the county jail this year. No detainees died in the jail the past two years.

Holbrook's attorney Scott Rosenblum tells the RFT , "A thorough investigation is in order. There's no indication that this young man was suicidal. In fact, given the circumstances he was upbeat."

He said Holbrook was participating in his defense and had "tremendous" family support.

According to KMOV, Holbrook's alleged victim was a 14-year-old student at Bernard Middle School in Mehlville, where Holbrook had been working as a substitute teacher.

Holbrook groomed the girl via social media platforms and by texting messages and pictures with her. Holbrook allegedly raped the 14-year-old at the girl's home on three occasions.

Police say that Holbrook later made threats against the girl to try to dissuade her from exposing his crimes.

Subsequent to Holbrook's arrest, the Post has reported that more potential victims have come forward.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — From his perch in an elementary school gym during last month’s Michigan primary, Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp oversaw the electronic book of eligible voters, while first-time election workers Kimberly and Shayne Becher helped check people in and explain how to fill out ballots.

Kimberly, a 59-year-old counselor from Greenville, said she and her husband wanted to get involved “to learn how this all works,” since neither is convinced that the 2020 presidential election hadn’t been stolen.

“You just go to a Trump rally or go to a Biden rally, that will tell you … who won,” said Shayne, a 53-year-old carpenter.

Hondorp hopes that the Bechers and others trained by his office, with a successful election behind them, will change their minds about the process.

“Hopefully, they’re going to go back and talk to their friends and family … and say: ‘Hey, this is what we observed,’” Hondorp said.

Across the country, election clerks have spent the last two years waging an information and public relations battle to restore faith in elections. They’re doing more TV interviews, giving more office tours and retooling their social media presences. They’re keeping up with legislation to overhaul elections and conspiracy theories spreading online. And they’re redoubling their efforts to explain the exhaustive steps they take to prevent fraud and run secure elections.

But as the 2022 primaries showed, some of the key personnel involved — poll workers and poll challengers — still actively doubt the results of the 2020 presidential race, believing baseless allegations of fraud perpetuated by former President Trump and his allies.
