School Cop Tasked With ‘Protecting’ Young Children Arrested for Child Sex Trafficking
What investigators found was utterly sickening
Child predators often seek out positions of authority which allow them to carry out their sick desires while garnering the trust of those around them. Poplar Bluff police officer Brandon Michael Hopper was one of these predators.
Last week, the 39-year-old was charged with the unclassified felony of first-degree sexual trafficking of a child, the Class B felony of first-degree promoting child pornography and two Class D felonies of possession of child pornography by Butler County Prosecuting Attorney Kacey Proctor.
Hopper was a ten year veteran of the department who had requested and received the position as a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Poplar Bluff Middle School last year. The school district welcomed this child predator to “protect” young children with open arms, because, after all, his badge made him a pillar of the community.
It should also be pointed out that the stories in the local media all referred to Hopper as a “former” officer arrested for child trafficking and child porn. This tactic is likely used to imply that the crimes were not committed by an actual current cop.
However, he was not fired from the department until AFTER HE ADMITTED TO THE CRIMES and was arrested. It is shameful indeed that blue privilege reaches so deep—even when involving those who prey on children.
