UPDATE
Drug dealer to remain detained before sex trafficking trial with ex-KCK cop Golubski
A notorious drug dealer accused of running a sex trafficking operation in the 1990s with the alleged protection of a then-Kansas City, Kansas, police detective will remain behind bars ahead of trial.
Cecil Brooks, 61, will remain detained before he faces accusations that he conspired to sex traffic underage girls between 1996 and 1998 with then-KCK detective Roger Golubski and two other men, U.S. Magistrate Judge Rachel Schwartz ruled Wednesday.
Golubski, who retired from the KCK police force in 2010 and then spent six years as a detective in Edwardsville, faces an additional indictment alleging he sexually abused and kidnapped a woman and a teenage girl from 1998 to 2002. At least seven other women also told federal agents that Golubski raped them or tried to while acting under the color of the law.
Attorney William Skepnek, who represents multiple Golubski accusers, said Wednesday his clients will be relieved by the news that Brooks, who they feared, will remain detained. But they are “very disappointed” no trial dates have been set.
The next hearing was set for Nov. 21.
