Indictment Expected Against Primary Sodomy Cop
Law enforcement sources tell the Post that they expect charges are forthcoming against Officer Richard Kern for his role in the alleged sodomizing of Michael Mineo in the Prospect Park subway station while cops were detaining him last month. While there was no inclination on what will happen to the other three officers under investigation, the paper says that a grand jury indictment of Kern is expected after Thanksgiving. Meanwhile yesterday Kern issued a statement through his lawyer reaffirming that he did "absolutely nothing wrong" and said that any implication that he used excessive force in a 2007 police misconduct investigation he had been cleared of previously were "a complete lie."
