印第安纳州前警员值勤期间性侵14岁少女被判40年监禁：还曾删除记录妨碍司法
美国司法部印第安纳南区联邦检察官办公室宣布，印第安纳州 Howard 县 Kokomo 市警察局前警员 Sinmi Asomuyide（33岁）被判处40年联邦监禁，其后3年监管释放。2026年6月，经过五天陪审团审判，他被判以法律名义剥夺权利、证人篡改与销毁记录等罪名成立。
法庭文件与庭审证据显示，Asomuyide 当时31岁，2024年6月30日以 Kokomo 警察局巡警身份首次接触一名14岁少女。当天早些时候，少女的父亲拨打911报告她离家出走，Asomuyide 与另一名警员响应并在一名未成年女孩家中找到了她。
将少女带往 Kinsey 青少年中心途中，Asomuyide 进入该设施的车辆通道时违反警局规定关闭了随身摄像头，随后拿走少女的手机、用它拨打自己在 TextNow 的个人号码，并询问她的性经历。搜身时他发现少女后兜里有一支电子烟，进入中心后把她带到一间侧室，称之后会联系她归还电子烟。
少女由家人朋友按父亲安排接走后，向 Asomuyide 发送了一个社交账号的用户名，他回复索要她的 TikTok 用户名。当晚两人持续短信联系，少女以为他会归还电子烟。
当晚晚些时候，Asomuyide 一边设法再见少女、一边掩盖行踪：他回到警局以完成文书为由申请10时至午夜的加班，却离开警局去接少女。他穿着警服来到家人朋友的公寓，要求单独与少女谈话以决定她住在哪里，随后把她铐在警车后座、开到一处空置仓库停车场，GPS 数据记录了这段行程。他解开手铐、把少女移到前座并对她实施性侵，之后重新铐上她、把她送回公寓小区。
少女向家人与执法部门报告后，印第安纳州警察厅展开调查，在 Asomuyide 巡逻车中控台上检出一处与他 DNA 相符的干精液痕迹。性侵约一周后，州警探员讯问 Asomuyide，他谎称从未把手机号给过少女，又谎称少女是用工作手机联系他的，而 Kokomo 警员并不配备工作手机。对他手机的取证还显示，性侵后数小时内他搜索过如何删除 TextNow 账号等短语。
司法部还指出，这不是 Asomuyide 首次涉及未成年人的性不当行为：他此前在弗吉尼亚州 Portsmouth 警察局任职时，因被指在非值勤时间与一名15岁少女发生性关系被迫辞职；后来应聘 Kokomo 警察局时，他谎称辞职原因是与一名自称19岁的17岁女孩来往。
助理司法部长 Harmeet K. Dhillon 表示，司法部严肃对待民权侵害，包括极少数背叛公众信任的警员所为；印第安纳南区联邦检察官 Tom Wheeler 表示，被告利用徽章、工具、训练与职权性侵一名脆弱儿童并试图掩盖，证据给出了不同答案。联邦调查局（FBI）印第安纳波利斯分局与印第安纳州警察厅侦办此案，刑期由首席联邦地区法官 James R. Sweeney II 判处。

Former Kokomo Officer Sentenced to 40 Years for On-Duty Sexual Assault of 14-Year-Old and Obstruction
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana announced that former Kokomo Police Department officer Sinmi Asomuyide, 33, of Kokomo in Howard County, Indiana, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. In June 2026, Asomuyide was convicted following a five-day jury trial of Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, Witness Tampering, and Destruction of Records.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Asomuyide, then 31, first encountered a 14-year-old girl on June 30, 2024, while serving as a Kokomo Police Department patrol officer. Earlier that day, the girl's father called 911 to report her as a runaway, and Asomuyide and another officer located her at the home of another underage girl.
After taking her into custody, Asomuyide transported her to the Kinsey Youth Center. As he entered the facility's sallyport garage, he turned off his body-worn camera in violation of department policy, took her cellphone and used it to call his personal TextNow number, and questioned her about her sexual history. During a pat-down he found a vape pen in her back pocket, and after entering the center he escorted her to a side room and told her he would contact her later to return it.
The girl was later picked up by a family friend at her father's direction. As she left, she sent Asomuyide a social media username and he asked for her TikTok username, and the two texted through the evening while she believed he intended to return the vape pen.
Later that evening, Asomuyide requested overtime at the station saying he would finish paperwork from 10 p.m. to midnight, but instead left to pick up the girl. He arrived at the family friend's apartment in uniform, demanded to speak to her privately, handcuffed her in the back of his squad car and drove to an empty warehouse parking lot, as shown by GPS data. He uncuffed her, moved her to the front seat and sexually assaulted her, then handcuffed her again and drove her back.
The girl reported the assault, prompting an Indiana State Police investigation. A forensic examination of the patrol vehicle found a dried semen stain matching Asomuyide's DNA on the center console. About a week later he falsely told detectives he had never given the girl his number and that she had contacted him on a work phone, though Kokomo officers are not issued work phones. A search of his phone showed searches within hours of the assault for how to delete a TextNow account.
The Justice Department said this was not his first instance of sexual misconduct with a minor: he had previously been forced to resign from the Portsmouth, Virginia, Police Department after an allegation of sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old while off duty, and misrepresented that history when applying to Kokomo. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon and U.S. Attorney Tom Wheeler condemned the abuse of the badge. The FBI Indianapolis Division and Indiana State Police investigated the case, and Chief District Judge James R. Sweeney II imposed the sentence.
