Part 3 | The Infamous Exploits of Police Officer Maegan Hall

WEBVTT

1
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.359
In January of twenty twenty three,
an internal affairs investigation revealed that Tennessee police

2
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.920
officer Megan Hall had engaged in sexual
misconduct with seven of her fellow officers at

3
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:39.200
the Laverne Police Department. She later
filed a lawsuit against her former department,

4
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.840
and in it, she claimed that
the department's all male ranks made her feel

5
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:50.759
trapped and exploited, claiming that her
superiors and even the chief of police groomed

6
00:00:50.759 --> 00:01:00.399
her. In this series, I
uncovered the investigation, dissect the actual interviews

7
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:07.040
of those involved, and dive into
the scandalous files of the lawsuit claims made

8
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:17.959
by Megan herself. Welcome to exposed
scandalous files of the elite, the infamous

9
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:36.359
exploits a police officer, Meghan Hall. And we want to welcome everyone to

10
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:42.840
the third and final part of the
Meghan Hall saga, the police officer from

11
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.719
the Laverne Police Department. And the
last time that we left you, we

12
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.560
had told you about the officers that
got fired, the ones that were placed

13
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.959
on leave, and of course Meghan
Hall being one of those that was fired

14
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.480
from the Laverne Police Department. So
a firestorm after all, this is filed

15
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.080
and these officers are fired, and
the internet goes crazy. As we told

16
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:14.479
you in our last episode, it
was mean city for Meghan Hall. And

17
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:24.039
over time, Meghan Hall struck back, and on February twenty seventh of twenty

18
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:30.439
twenty three, Meghan Hall files a
lawsuit against the City of Laverne, Tennessee

19
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:38.520
Burrell chip Davis, Lewis Powell,
and Henry Ty McGowan. Chip Davis being

20
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.479
the police chief and Powell and McGowan
of course other officers involved in this incident.

21
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.240
Now, when these lawsuits are filed, the person filing the complaint,

22
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:57.039
that plaintiff has an opportunity to kind
of explain what happened in their own words.

23
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.560
And I'm going to read you that
explanation from Megan Hall. Remember how

24
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.159
I told you there's two sides to
every story. This is her side,

25
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.800
And the lawsuit explains that Megan Hall
was a vulnerable and optimistic twenty four year

26
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.120
old woman who had applied to be
a police officer at the City of Laverne,

27
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.080
where Miss Hall sought role models at
her new job, and she instead

28
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.680
found predators in a place of offering
professional development. Her supervisors and the chief

29
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:32.520
of police groomed her for sexual exploitation. They colluded in using their authority to

30
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:39.719
systematically disarm her resistance and entrap her
in degrading and abuse of sexual relationships,

31
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:47.120
even sharing tips on the best ways
to manipulate and exploit her. Meghan Hall

32
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:52.680
felt trapped in the role assigned to
her at the City of Laverne Police Department,

33
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.240
and in an attempt to escape,
she nearly killed herself. Then the

34
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.159
city blamed her for everything. This
lawsuit seeks justice for Megan Hall. So

35
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.400
that was kind of the introduction to
that lawsuit. She made a bunch of

36
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.280
allegations and in those allegations they list
some facts. They talk about Megan Hall

37
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.800
being a graduate of Middle Tennessee State
University with a bachelor's degree in biology,

38
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.360
and in December of twenty twenty,
she had applied for that job with the

39
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.959
LPD, the Laverne Police Department,
and she was twenty four years old,

40
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.720
five foot four inches tall, and
she weighed approximately one hundred and thirty five

41
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.759
pounds. Now, part of the
application process at LPD requires candidates to undergo

42
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:49.160
a psychological evaluation. Miss Hall expressed
concern about the psychological evaluation. She expressed

43
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:55.759
it to Ty mcgallan, specifically because
Miss Hall had a history of mental health

44
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:02.079
problems including alcohol abuse, anxiety,
depression, and self harm. So Sergeant

45
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:08.199
McGowan told Miss Hall the specific questions
that she would be asked and instructed her

46
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.639
to lie about her history of mental
health problems. It's important, y'all to

47
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.120
say, this is her side,
could be true, could not be true,

48
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:21.319
This is strictly her words. So
she was hired by the Laverne Police

49
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.120
Department on February ninth of twenty twenty
one and assigned to the second shift,

50
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:33.000
and she was the only woman assigned
to that shift throughout her employment with the

51
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.279
Laverne Police Department. From the beginning
of her employment, Miss Hall experienced a

52
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:46.720
workplace environment perminated with sexual innuendo,
including mail officers routinely discussing sexual preferences,

53
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.959
attractiveness, and sex acts they have
performed on winning a mail officer describing to

54
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.639
Miss Hall's superior officer that he wanted
to take care of Miss Hall and that

55
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.759
he would eat Miss Hall out and
that he would fuck Miss Hall. I'm

56
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:10.839
quoting, y'all. Two male officers
shared with one another within Miss Hall's presence

57
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:16.560
and while on duty photographs of their
penises. Sergeant William Watson on multiple occasions

58
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.399
made sexually suggestive comments to Miss Hall. For example, in the spring of

59
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:28.199
twenty twenty two, Sergeant Watson commented
on Miss Hall's tattoos and asked if she

60
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.959
had any others. Miss Hall responded
she did, but they were covered by

61
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.959
her uniform, and Sergeant Watson asked
to see them, offered his personal number,

62
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.879
and asked to meet off duty,
and offered to show her some of

63
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.639
his workout moves with obvious sexual innuendo. And in the lawsuit a doctor was

64
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:55.399
quoted. His name was Grant Simonons
and he outlines seven stages of the grooming

65
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.560
process. And I actually thought that
this doctor did a great job job of

66
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.920
describing the grooming process and the stages
involved. And the first is selecting the

67
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:14.439
victim. Predators seek vulnerable targets and
environments where predators are likely to receive adoration,

68
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.839
respect, and be seen as upstanding
members of the community. They exploit

69
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.079
the inherent trust given to positions of
authority and power, where it can be

70
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:30.720
very difficult for its target to perceive
the behaviors anything other than genuine care and

71
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.959
concern. People with psychological trauma are
ideal targets. In the second stage is

72
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.199
gathering information. Once a sexual predator
has selected their target, the next stage

73
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.879
in the grooming process is the development
of a personal relationship. In order to

74
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:54.040
identify their target's needs and farmerabilities.
The predator may seek to insert themselves as

75
00:07:54.199 --> 00:08:01.199
trusted authorities within their targets environment and
use that position to gather information and present

76
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.279
themselves as a genuine friend in order
to disarm the target. In the third

77
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:13.800
stage is gaining personal connection. Next, the predator uses the information gained to

78
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.480
engage with their target in us only. Information and activity designed to build trust,

79
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.639
create intimacy, and blur the lines
between what is and what is not.

80
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:28.879
Appropriate secrets are utilized by the predator
to normalized non disclosure of mutual activities.

81
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:35.799
Environmentally, the predator seeks to make
themselves increasingly seen as a true friend

82
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.600
or a dedicated professional. The four
stage meeting the need and establishing credentials.

83
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.360
In this stage of grooming and exploitation, the predator secures their credibility in the

84
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.840
eyes of the target by exploiting information
they have obtained in using it and their

85
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.240
newly established personal connection to fulfill the
identified need of their target. The predator

86
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.279
may provide favors and benefits in order
to amplify codependence and instill in the victim

87
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.799
a desire to repay the predator.
Priming the target. Next, the predator

88
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:16.679
uses their established credibility to increase emotional
dependence while engaging and escalating non sexual touching,

89
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.000
dirty jokes, conversations about sex,
flirting, and the innuendo. The

90
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.720
predator may control the target through the
veiled threat of removal of the predator's assistance

91
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.159
or resources. Implicit or explicit coercion
is an effective tool used by predators when

92
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.840
priming targets for exploitation and abuse,
and then creating the victim instigating sexual contact.

93
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:46.639
Once a predator feels their target is
adequately primed, increasingly overt sexual interactions

94
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.840
are introduced. The point where a
target becomes a victim is usually carefully orchestrated

95
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.799
by the perpetrator, but to the
target it may look and feel like spontaneous

96
00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:01.600
events that arose from an otherwise ordinary
encounter. Skill predator re use an already

97
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.480
establish activity as a platform to launch
into sexual activity, and lastly, controlling

98
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.639
the victim. Stage seven involves the
predator working to control the victim and their

99
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.519
victim's environment in order to continue the
exploitation. Secrecy, guilt, blame,

100
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.159
threat, bribery, and promises of
war may be all used as tactics to

101
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.759
control the victim. Using their victims
identify vulnerabilities. The predator will control their

102
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:35.000
victim through fear, guilt, or
by generating a sense of helplessness, isolation,

103
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.519
and despair. Predators will often escalate
their sexual activities to include increasingly deviant

104
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.879
or humiliating encounters and then use their
victim's participation to control them. Now that

105
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.279
is from that doctor, so mss
Hall. She describes some sexual grooming by

106
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.639
Sergeant Lewis Powell in particular, and
she says that during her employment at the

107
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.759
Love PDE, Sergeant Powell was one
of her supervisors and he was more than

108
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.799
fifteen years older than Miss Hall six
foot two, he was approximately two hundred

109
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.759
and twenty pounds, and Sergeant Powell
identified Miss Hall as a young, vulnerable

110
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.559
woman in a department dominated by aggressive
older men. He used his position as

111
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.919
a second shift supervisor to befriend Miss
Hall and learned about Miss Hall's desire to

112
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:35.440
become a crime Suppression unit officer in
early twenty twenty two, Powell targeted Miss

113
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.240
Hall for sexual exploitation by abusing his
knowledge of her personal circumstances, professional aspirations,

114
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.799
and vulnerabilities to coerce her into sexual
activities. He learned that Miss Hall

115
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.360
was going through the process of buying
a home with her husband and that that

116
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:58.279
process was extremely taxing on their relationship, so he positioned himself as a reliable

117
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.759
source of companionship and advice regarding not
only Miss Hall's career, but her marriage.

118
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.799
He contacted Miss Hall through Facebook messenger
and offered his personal cell phone number.

119
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.240
He complimented her physique and offered to
show her workout techniques, and then,

120
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.679
leveraging his role with the crime Suppression
Unit and his rank, Sergeant Powell

121
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.000
promised to share with Miss Hall training
in tips in order to ensure advancement in

122
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.720
her career. Now On or around
March fifteenth of twenty twenty two, Sergeant

123
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960
Powell would bring up the topic of
sex while he was on patrol with Officer

124
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.679
Hall. He stated that he had
played the game before and could keep it

125
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:46.720
cool at work, and during one
such conversation, Sergeant Powell directly propositioned Miss

126
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.320
Hall for the first time. He
stated that it's just sex. I can

127
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.159
give you what your husband can't give
you, and Miss Hall responded that she

128
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:01.159
was not interested. Sergeant Powell persisted
in his request for despite her resistance,

129
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.279
and stated that he was taking an
interest in Miss Hall, and Miss Hall

130
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.279
reminded him of himself when he first
started at the department. That's what he

131
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.320
told her. So Miss Hall looked
up to Sergeant Powell as a professional role

132
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.720
model and an authority figure who had
the ability honestly to make or break her

133
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.200
career. And despite Miss Hall's repeat
denials, Sergeant Powell texted her during shift

134
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.399
about how they could have a secret
sexual relationship. So eventually Miss Hall she

135
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.000
gives in to Sergeant Powell's request for
sex, and he tells Miss Hall to

136
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.039
come in early for jiu jitsu training
at an off site facility used by the

137
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.279
department. So Miss Hall arrives and
Sergeant Powell kisses her. He then pressured

138
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.919
her to perform oral sex. Miss
Hall she expresses concern about the fact that

139
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.559
they were engaging in this activity in
public, but reluctantly agreed. Miss Hall

140
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.919
blicitly stated that she did not want
Sergeant Powell to ejaculate in her mouth.

141
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:11.120
Despite her express limitations, Sergeant Powell
forcefully held Miss Hall's head down as he

142
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.840
ejaculated. Within days of the jiu
Jitsu training, Sergeant Powell took Miss Hall

143
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.799
in his truck after shift for a
sexual encounter. She expressed a boundary by

144
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:28.960
requiring the use of a condom,
and Sergeant Powell agreed not to ejaculate inside

145
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.960
her vagina. However, during sex, Sergeant Powell removed that condom forcibly held

146
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.039
Miss Hall in place and ejaculated inside
her vagina. He said that it was

147
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:45.600
okay because he had a vasectomy.
On another occasion, while engaging in sexual

148
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:50.320
activity, Miss Hall noticed that Sergeant
Powell was photographing or video recording her without

149
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:56.000
her consent. She became upset and
demanded that he delete that data. So

150
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.120
Sergeant Powell he assures her that he
deleted that data, but based on a

151
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:07.120
February sixth, twenty twenty three investigative
report, at least one of these non

152
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:13.759
consensual intimate visual depictions ended up in
the possession of Sergeant McGowan and Chief Davis.

153
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:20.200
Sergeant Powell also regularly instructed Miss Hall
to delete text messages that will refer

154
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.480
to their relationship, and he persistently
asked for sex during shift when the two

155
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:31.559
were alone together at the PDE.
Sergeant Hall would exchange in sexually charged communications

156
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.480
involving explicit descriptions of sex acts on
several occasions between March of twenty twenty two.

157
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.039
In October of twenty twenty two,
when Miss Hall would make a mistake

158
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.799
on duty, Sergeant Powell excused her
mistakes on the condition that she performed sex

159
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.320
acts with him. Later, Sergeant
Powell would threaten her that if anyone finds

160
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.320
out her, if you sleep with
anyone else, then it's over. Things

161
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.000
are going to be different. Work
is going to be different. Sergeant Powell

162
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.320
used his authority as a supervisor to
seclude Miss Hall and coerce her into performing

163
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.879
sexual acts. On one occasion,
Sergeant Paul secluded Miss Hall at a police

164
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:14.679
substation and asked her to perform oral
sex. Miss Hall declined, but Sergeant

165
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.399
Powell would not take no for an
answer. He begged Miss Hall to perform

166
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.919
oral sex, saying he had blue
balls and really needed it. Miss Hall

167
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.720
felt that she had no choice but
to continue to provide sexual favors to Sergeant

168
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:36.200
Powell. So she performed oral sex
as demanded. The sexual relationship with Sergeant

169
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:41.120
Powell impacted Miss Hall's mental health and
contributed to worsening of her psychiatric symptoms,

170
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.399
including anxiety and depression, and she
felt she could not get out of the

171
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:52.120
relationship because Power refused to accept her
wishes whenever she told him she didn't want

172
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.399
to have sex. On one occasion, when Miss Hall tried to end the

173
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.840
relationship, Sergeant Powell called her while
heavily intoxicated. Sergeant Powell was crying and

174
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.559
told Miss Hall that he drank an
entire bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey. He

175
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.559
threatened to kill himself and told Miss
Hall, you did this to me and

176
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.720
asserted that she was responsible for his
ineminent suicide. Miss Hall she continued to

177
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:23.279
experience anxiety, depression, and difficulty
because of her inability to escape the relationship

178
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.640
with Sergeant Powell, and on Memorial
Day weekend of twenty twenty two, intended

179
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:36.400
a party hosted by the Laverne Police
Department Sergeant Eric Stats and attended by other

180
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:41.839
officers. The only other woman at
that party was Officer Maglioso's wife, who

181
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.400
left early in the evening. Miss
Hall and Officer Maglioso walked his wife back

182
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.799
to her car, then secluded themselves
and had sex before returning to the houseboat.

183
00:17:52.920 --> 00:18:00.519
When they returned, Officer Maglioso fingered
Miss hall hot tub as she was

184
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:07.759
visibly intoxicated within full view of other
officers. After several minutes, Miss Hall

185
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.759
pushed away Officer Magleoso's hand from her
crotch and said no. Ten or twenty

186
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:18.720
minutes later, he poured vodka down
her throat. Afterwards, Miss Hall and

187
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:25.680
Magleoso had sexual intercourse in the bathroom
of the of that house boat. The

188
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:32.519
events occurring at Sergeant Stat's party became
widely known at the LPD. Sergeant Powell

189
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:37.160
told Miss Hall that such a flagrant
activity could lead to trouble, and he

190
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.240
continued to leverage his position of authority
to get sex out of Miss Hall.

191
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:47.759
Sergeant Powell texted Miss Hall under the
pretense of offering additional training opportunities, and

192
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.920
Miss Hall would make excuses to avoid
participating. Sergeant Powell did not accept Miss

193
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.240
Hall's rejection. He told miss miss
Hall, you owe me. Miss Hall

194
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.799
submitted to other sexual acts with Sergeant
Powell through October of twenty twenty two,

195
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.960
Sergeant Pawle secleted Miss Hall during shift
at an archery range and stuck his hand

196
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.519
down the front of her pants.
He provided Miss Hall with special treatment at

197
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.559
work and made sure she knew that
he would not be doing this if they

198
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.400
didn't have a sexual relationship. Sergeant
Powell coerced Miss Hall to engage in sex

199
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:29.839
acts despite her rejection and non consent. After violating Miss Hall, Sergeant Paell

200
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.680
said things like I could tell you
really weren't into that, or he would

201
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.200
say, you must really care about
me. Thank you for letting me finish.

202
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.599
It shows how much you really care. When Sergeant Powell wanted sex,

203
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.960
he refused to take no for an
answer. He continued demanding sex, saying

204
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.960
things like we'll do it tomorrow,
or I've done so much for you.

205
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:55.519
I've helped you and I've done so
much for you in your personal life.

206
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:02.359
The sexually coercive environment on the second
shift at the Laverne Peace triggered increasingly severe

207
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.400
symptoms of mental illness from Miss Hall. These symptoms impacted her ability to perform

208
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.519
her job, and on July fourteenth
of twenty twenty two, she reached out

209
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:17.759
to Sergeant Power to convey her distress
and its impact on her ability to perform

210
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:22.720
her duties. Sergeant Powell told Miss
Hall that if she sought help for her

211
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.440
psychological distress, she'd be thought of
as a weak female officer and no one

212
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.759
would trust her. He warned her
against reporting her issues and advised her to

213
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.480
suck it up and focus on work. Within hours after the call to Sergeant

214
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:42.119
Powell, Miss Hall was involved in
an on duty collision. Miss Hall was

215
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.920
operating her patrol vehicle. She attempted
to merge lanes but failed to yield to

216
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.559
another vehicle that caused a collision and
property damage to both vehicles. On October

217
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.960
twenty one of twenty twenty two,
she was involved and yet another collision while

218
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.039
on duty. She was leaving the
police to respond to an assault, but

219
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.720
pulled out in front of a van
and caused a wreck. She was injured

220
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:12.400
and transported to the hospital for treatment. So that's Miss Hall's breakdown of her

221
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.039
side of the story with Sergeant Powell, and then she goes into Sergeant Henry

222
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:25.640
ty McGowan, who was a supervisor
on her second shift. He was twenty

223
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.400
years older than Miss Hall and he's
six't one and weighed two hundred and

224
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.839
forty pounds now. During her employment
with the Laverne Pde and within the workplace,

225
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.559
she continuously engaged in sexually charged behavior, and she lists some of that

226
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.160
including Sergeant McGowan smacking Miss Hall on
the butt at the police station. He

227
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.759
would refer to himself as Papa Bear
and hug her so tightly that he would

228
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.400
lift her off the ground. During
some of these hugs, Miss Hall said

229
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.839
that she felt a bulge that she
believed to be Sergeant McGowan semi erect penis

230
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:08.480
pressing against her. He would proposition
Miss Hall for sex and he would specifically

231
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.319
state I want to bang you.
Please use me for sex, and I

232
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.880
want to eat you up. He
would make sexual moaning noises when Miss Hall

233
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.039
would walk into a room. He
would make comments about how good she looked

234
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.960
in her uniform pants. He even
offered to pay and create an account on

235
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.680
feet finder for Miss Hall. There
you go, feet Finder, I guess

236
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:37.160
that's a foot fetish site. Between
February of twenty twenty one in October of

237
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.839
twenty twenty two, Miss Hall repeatedly
declined to participate in any sexual activity with

238
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:51.359
Sergeant McGowan, and despite her reported
objections of Sergeant McGowan's sexual advances. He

239
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:57.119
continued to request such favors, and
then she also goes into Chief Burrell Chip

240
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:03.279
Davis and some sexual grimmy she claims
he attempted. At the time that she

241
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.839
joined the LPD, Chief Davis was
the highest ranking commanding officer in the department.

242
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.359
Chief Davis told investigators that in a
text message, which is dated October

243
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.039
twenty fifth of twenty twenty two,
Sergeant McGowan sent him a photograph of a

244
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:26.599
blackmail foot inside Officer Hall's mouth.
Immediately thereafter, Chief Davis said the following

245
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:33.079
exchange and this was between him and
Sergeant McGowan via text message. Chief Davis

246
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:38.160
said, who da. Sergeant McGowan
said, Hall slash Lewis and Chief Davis

247
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.480
said he owned it again, and
Sergeant McGowan said he swears he ain't.

248
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.720
And Chief Davis said she nor her
husband took that picture and Sergeant McGowan said

249
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:55.240
she has a tight little lass though
in Chief Davis said yep. And then

250
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.279
on October twenty eighth, the exchange
of messages continued and Chief David said,

251
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:07.839
fuck Lewis saying to D's hoes because
normal pimp shit ain't working, and Sergean

252
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.720
McGowan said, no fucking clue he
killing it. Chief Davis said maybe,

253
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:18.400
goodie shit. Sergeant McGowan said,
gotta be. I can't do it gorilla

254
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:23.400
pimp, and Chief David said the
only way I know. Then he says,

255
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.200
does she talk to you? And
Sergeant McGowan says, nope, she

256
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.680
getting too much attention, and Chief
David said, oh, I see,

257
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.960
and Sergeant McGowan said it's all good. And Chief Davis said, I saved

258
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.319
her for the last time. I
wish she could tell the whole fucking story.

259
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.440
Can't do shit for her, And
Sergeant McGowan said, I wish I

260
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.960
could too, Then we both could
play. And Chief David said, can't

261
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.720
fuck Lewis though, because the picks
are fire. And the complaint goes on

262
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:59.559
to say that Chief Davis repeatedly attempted
to seclude Miss Hawser that he could use

263
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.920
as a or, as he described, a normal pimp shit to induce Miss

264
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.960
Hall. To gratify his own sexual
desires, He explicitly and implicitly engaged in

265
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.880
sexually charged behavior permitting in the workplace, including asking Miss Hall to come into

266
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:22.279
his office and dance for him,
providing his personal number and suggesting lunch dates

267
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.000
with him, complaining about his marital
problems and studying he was lonely, and

268
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:33.079
characterizing Miss Hall's clothing as hot girl
summer shit. He also said that he

269
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.599
will harass her and make it fun
and asked whether Miss Hall preferred dark white

270
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:45.039
or milk chocolate with sexual undertones.
So let's talk about Chief Davis. When

271
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:52.359
Miss Hall decided to sue all of
these people, they hired their own private

272
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.839
investigators who dug up a lot of
dirt on Chief Davis. One of those

273
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:04.279
things was a secret cell phone that
he maintained, and he actually had a

274
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:11.599
nickname for it was called Old Boy. And this was uncovered originally by Human

275
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.960
Resource Director Patten. When Patten was
interviewing Chief Davis, he said, so

276
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:21.680
there's a document here. It says
Chip's secret phone. Do you have a

277
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.480
third cell phone? And Chief Davis
said, yeah, but he no longer

278
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:33.799
owns that phone. It was found
out through investigators of the plaintiff in this

279
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:40.880
case, Miss Hall. That Old
Boy was the name of that cell phone.

280
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.440
And although it was a burner phone, it could receive text and all

281
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:49.759
that sort of thing, and it
was specifically a phone they dug up that

282
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:59.119
was used to talk about all these
sexual situations going on at the Laverne Police

283
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.640
Department. So on December eighth of
twenty twenty two, according to the complaint,

284
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.240
Miss Hall began to cut herself in
an effort to work herself up,

285
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:15.960
which she described as the ultimate act
of taking her own life. And also

286
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:21.200
on December eighth, she was committed
for psychiatric treatment at Saint Thomas Ascension,

287
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.519
which is a hospital in the area, a mental hospital in the area,

288
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:32.599
for seventy two hours where she actually
received treatment for bipolar disorder. So these

289
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:38.200
investigators, they continue digging on Chief
Davis during all this, and they were

290
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:45.440
trying to prove that Chief Davis knew
about all this stuff going on and did

291
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.680
not report it. And they came
across some text messages and that was on

292
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:56.039
December ninth of twenty twenty two,
and it's Chief Davis talking or texting Sergeant

293
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.359
McGowan and Chief Davis says, p
Meg trying to put up smoking mirrors and

294
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.480
it's going to come back to bite
him. And Sergeant McCallan wrote, really

295
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.200
already, Chief Davis said, he's
telling comrade everything, but I fucking her.

296
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:18.319
Sergeant McCowan put LMAO, Chief Davis
put between you and I. If

297
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.640
it comes out about Lewis and he's
referring to Lewis Pywell and he has not

298
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:29.240
said anything, he is toast.
So the investigators and the Plainiffs Attorney wrote

299
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.680
a conclusion to their findings regarding Chief
Davis, and they said Chief Davis was

300
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:41.640
aware of inappropriate sexual activity between officers, including superior officers subordinates, as well

301
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:47.160
as the widespread sharing within his department
of new photos and videos and female officers.

302
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.920
He admittedly received some of these inappropriate
photographs and videos and never volunteerly to

303
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:59.759
close doing so. Chief Davis never
reported this activity to human Resources, nor

304
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.279
did he disciplined any of the officers. When Officer Hall was hospitalized on December

305
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:08.559
eighth of twenty twenty two, Chief
Davis did not report his prior knowledge of

306
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:14.960
sexual activity with Sergeant Lewis Powell.
When Hall and Powell denied sexual activity during

307
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.480
the initial investigation, Chief Davis did
not disclose to Director Patten or others he

308
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:26.319
knew or even believed them to be
lying. Finally, this document is evidence

309
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.680
that compels us to a conclusion that
he misled Director Patten in his interview,

310
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:37.160
and that he misled the investigation.
One final note. Much has been written

311
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.960
in popular media about a particular incident
detailed in the investigation report as a so

312
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.480
called girls gone wild hot tub party. This matter, however, neither is

313
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:52.559
about girls nor going wild. It
has cost persons their career, their health,

314
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.640
and their families. It costs a
city in the community. Given time,

315
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.759
the costs arise and spread to many
other officers who have held their oaths.

316
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.119
The city officials who acted honorably to
uncover the truth in the innocent friends

317
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:10.960
and families of those who did not
know. Responsibility also is shared. No

318
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.720
one person is at fault for these
events. In this matter, however,

319
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.839
our investigation found that one person possessed
a unique combination of information, authority,

320
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.839
responsibility, and opportunity to change the
course of the events. That's Chief Davis,

321
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.559
and he did not speak up.
So, if you're curious, on

322
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.759
February sixth of twenty twenty three,
Chief Davis was terminated as chief of Police

323
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:48.720
of the Laverne Police Department. So
that is a rap to this week's episode.

324
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.119
Next week we will delve into another
episode of Exposed scandalous files of the

325
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:07.960
elite, and this time it's the
files of Sean P. Diddy Combes and

326
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:17.920
you won't believe what you're going to
hear Until next time, Much love, M.
