A former Kansas police detective accused of “the grossest acts of corruption a police officer can commit” has died shortly before federal prosecutors began trying charges against him.
Roger Golubski, 71, had been waiting trial on charges that he kidnapped and raped two women during the 1990s and early 2000s when he was found dead on Monday morning in his home.
Authorities discovered Golubski’s body after he failed to arrive for jury selection in his long-awaited trial in Topeka, Kansas, according to reporting from CNN and the Kansas City Star. Sources told the outlets that his death was believed to be a suicide.
Golubski was out on bond awaiting the trial when he was reportedly found dead on his back porch. He is accused of sexually assaulting vulnerable Black women over the course of multiple decades in a case with allegations that shocked the country.
