堪萨斯州塞奇威克县贝尔艾尔市前格林斯堡警察局长11月3日晚被捕涉儿童性侵指控

堪萨斯州调查局11月3日晚逮捕了格林斯堡市前警察局长亚伦·J·韦布,罪名涉及性侵儿童。调查局通讯主任梅丽莎·安德伍德表示,调查局探员与贝尔艾尔警察局警员于当晚约6时40分在韦布位于塞奇威克县贝尔艾尔市的家中将其逮捕。韦布现年33岁,依据基奥瓦县签发的未执行逮捕令被捕,罪名包括两项殴打罪、两项严重猥亵儿童罪,以及一项可替代指控的猥亵儿童罪。
韦布被送往位于道奇城的福特县监狱,保释金为7.5万美元。基奥瓦县警长办公室于2025年1月请求调查局协助调查,此前有指控称韦布性侵一名儿童。刑事起诉书称,相关犯罪发生于2022年9月和2023年5月。韦布于2023年11月辞去格林斯堡警察局长职务。格林斯堡是基奥瓦县一座约740人的小城,该市曾在2007年5月遭遇EF-5级龙卷风袭击、造成11人死亡,此后逐步重建。
此案目前仍处于司法程序初期,韦布被捕后尚未公布开庭日期。调查局表示,案件由基奥瓦县方面主导侦办,调查局提供协助。执法人员提醒,涉及未成年人的性侵案件受害者与家属可向当地执法机构或儿童保护部门求助,相关举报信息将依法保密。此案也再度引发外界对小城市警务人员背景审查与监督机制的关注。

Former Greensburg, Kansas Police Chief Arrested November 3 on Child Sex Crime Charges
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation arrested former Greensburg police chief Aaron J. Webb on the evening of November 3 on charges involving sexual abuse of a child. KBI Communications Director Melissa Underwood said KBI agents and Bel Aire police officers arrested Webb at about 6:40 p.m. at his home in Bel Aire, Sedgwick County. Webb, 33, was arrested on an outstanding Kiowa County warrant charging two counts of battery, two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, and, in the alternative, one count of indecent liberties with a child.
Webb was booked into the Ford County Jail in Dodge City on $75,000 bond. The Kiowa County Sheriff's Office asked the KBI for help in January 2025 after allegations arose that Webb had sexually abused a child. The criminal complaint alleges the crimes occurred in September 2022 and May 2023. Webb resigned as Greensburg police chief in November 2023. Greensburg is a Kiowa County city of about 740 people that rebuilt after an EF-5 tornado killed 11 people in May 2007.
The case is in its early stages and no court date has been announced. The KBI said the investigation is led by Kiowa County with KBI assistance. Law enforcement reminds victims and families in cases involving minors that they can contact local law enforcement or child protection agencies, and that reports are kept confidential as required by law.
