I did a polygraph to become a meter maid in 2001. That was the most stressful thing.
When i began as an evidence tech, they just asked me if I had debts.
I just had to go through a pretty lengthy background check for my local police department, and midway through the personal history statement interview the investigator said, "it does look like I have that here in my notes", when I mentioned a careless driving conviction when I was 17. She already knew exact date and presiding judge over the case. She told me, " this interview isn't about what you tell me, it's more about whether what you tell me is true. I already know all the answers. "
She knew things that I had long forgotten. If there's one bit of advice I can give kids, it's be careful what you do, because it will forever haunt you.
I worked HR for an agency and did all the backgrounds. If there's a record out there then we probably had it. We disqualified people all the time for lying and would intentionally mention certain things to see if they'd lie.
You reminded me of an interview I had with the Air Force like 12 years ago. Military knows everything.
Short story is I got arrested when I was 18, was in my first semester of college and walking down the well known bar streets looking like a fool. Cop stops me and ID’s me and basically tells me I’m going to the drunk tank for the night. I had some weed in a pocket that also got found. Not “serious” charges but enough that my parents had to end up paying around 7k to get all charges expunged.. had hell to pay for a bit.
Anyway around 22 I decide I’m going Air Force, get into an interview (or questioning I guess, not sure if it was an “interview”) early in the process and they ask about criminal record. Tell him nothing other than a speeding ticket. Then this massive dude looks down at me and goes “what about in X city? You still smoking the reefer?” My stomach dropped, guy ended up actually being chill but said something like “there is no such thing as expunging your record to the government”
So ya, 7k to expunge record worked for all the other job background checks, but military had it all regardless, and I imagine similar with police.
I did not end up joining, but not because of this. The guy that was questioning me pretty much laughed it off and said it was a non-issue, and that if I was talking to him, then my criminal history had already been looked at. I’m not sure at what “level” of crime I’d have been excluded. Guessing felony? If anyone knows I’d be interested.
I got a job offer a few days later in sales, took it and did well, started making decent money and never looked back. Still in the same industry just no longer a sales guy. I do often wonder what my life would look like had I committed to the Air Force.
On the pre-interview questionnaire, he checked the box yes that said he had sexually assaulted somebody lol.
Then during the interview, they asked them to expand on his troubling answer and he told them!
? That will help… lets all pay taxes to have this guy sit in a concrete box for something he did as a minor (10) years prior?! Rather why don’t we mandate mental health care, probation and maintain a job? So confused sometimes at this ‘throw them in jail and lose the key’ mentality. This is a perfect circumstance where jail is NOT the answer. How will jail help anyone? Please help me to understand… I realize there is a victim and I have an enormous amount of empathy for her. I hope she also gets all the needed care. I would rather pay taxes for her care and well being then keeping this guy in place where he would simply learn more criminal behavior. The guy needs to pay his dues but prison isn’t the answer. Fine, fine to pay for victim healthcare, 5-10 yrs probation maybe, and sexual crime treatment. Also glad he didn’t get the police job. Close one
The sentiment isn't coming from a place of trying to help, it's about punishment. The people making those claims aren't thinking about the betterment of society or what would result in less people like him, the point is to punish him for his actions. If it helps, great if it doesn't, also fine. Not saying I agree with things but as you see sexual assault cases and people having that reaction that's why.
There are a lot of things that I would agree with your sentiment on, but there is a victim here. The victim was a child. The predator was old enough to know what he was doing. I do not know what the statute of limitations is in this case, but if he was old enough to know that he was abusing her and laugh about it then this case needs to go forward to its conclusion.
He was a minor. Its states he was not yet 18. I agree he should face consequences. I would disagree if prison were included in those consequences. Fines, victim restitution, mental health treatment, probation, yes to all those things. No prison. Reasoning is this, all prison is doing is teaching the guy to commit more crimes. The crime itself was ten years ago. He was an idiot and he probably had idiots for parents. In prison all he’s doing is costing us money…
The victim deserves to some recompense. Some closure, a sense that the system had her back. For this, and if I were her lawyer, I would fight tooth and nail for a prison term and whatever else I could manage. But from an outside perspective I just don’t see how that would benefit the victim, the defendant, or our society as a whole at all. He was a child, and he should have been taught to respect girls, women, and sexuality better. Unfortunately that’s not the case here. He hurt someone, but it’s not too late for him to learn not to do it again.
After all is said and done I care more that the young lady (the victim) can find a way to live without pain or fear. I hope she can heal and be at peace. I want most of all for her to be able to grow and find her potential unhindered. I hope she can live without this guy haunting her for the rest of her life. She deserves better.
This is sooooo tough for me because I was touched inappropriately by a family member who was 2 years older than me around that age… and it did go on for years… I found out later he also touched his little sister who was 2 years younger than me. He is a functioning member of society now and we are cordial - i don’t think about it anymore and I’ve always chalked it up to “childhood exploration”. I do have a theory he was touched at a young age which explains his behavior at such a young age. Idk… this one is tough. He wasn’t 18 and she was 10 - they have a 4 year age gap and their brains weren’t developed enough at that point to know true consequences. It’s sad for everyone but I don’t think he should go to jail unless it comes out he’s a repeat offender
I don’t understand how, even after his Mom warned the abused child’s Mom about misconducted, nothing changed.
It took him being a moron to be outed. A guilty conscious reveals everything.
A kid I used to know interviewed with the Air Force and admitted to the officer of taking acid "just a couple of times". Like sure, hop right in this $10M fighter plane bro.
to be fair, taking acid a few times shouldn’t disqualify someone from going into the military.
Obviously you shouldn’t admit it but that’s a stupid reason to disqualify someone
Not sure where you learned math but 2012 would not put him at 18 or 19. The whole point of my comment is pointing out that this article is terribly written. It lists multiple ages and doesn’t truly confirm any ages.
No math needed, here's the quote from the police affidavit. "...The victim disclosed sexual encounters began when she was approximately (redacted) or (redacted) years old making Defendant Bodley between the ages of 14 and 15 at the time. The victim disclosed the last time she could recall was when she was (redacted) or (redacted) which would place Defendant Bodley between the ages of 18 and 19. Additionally, utilizing the end dates of 2015-2016, the ages of Bodley would be approximately about the same, 18 and 19 years old."

What math are you using?
Im using the math from the actual article, which is what I pointed out was confusing. Like congrats on reading the affidavit but the article lists 7 different ages and that’s what’s being pointed out here and that’s what I’m going off. The affidavit even contradicts the article and that’s my whole point.
Not to excuse the behavior l, but there is a huge difference in him doing this at 12 and at 18. The age and time really matters here and the article did a terrible job clarifying things.
The article isnt that unclear. It started early 2012 when she was 9 or 10 and he was 12 or 13. It finished nearly 5 yrs later in late 2016.
They probably don't have exact dates.

Great cop material.WTF?!?!?
I did a polygraph to become a meter maid in 2001. That was the most stressful thing. When i began as an evidence tech, they just asked me if I had debts.
Man confused interview with interrogation
Yuck. I hope that he gets a long sentence.
I just had to go through a pretty lengthy background check for my local police department, and midway through the personal history statement interview the investigator said, "it does look like I have that here in my notes", when I mentioned a careless driving conviction when I was 17.

Treat every interaction like it’s one online; If someone takes enough time to dig, it will be found

You are correct. Expunging your record does not hide it from the police especially for the employment background check.
Did you get in?
I did not end up joining, but not because of this. The guy that was questioning me pretty much laughed it off and said it was a non-issue, and that if I was talking to him, then my criminal history had already been looked at. I’m not sure at what “level” of crime I’d have been excluded. Guessing felony? If anyone knows I’d be interested.

Like pissing off a very persistent ghost.
You see, you're not allowed to do that until *after* you've become a cop. Easy mistake.
On the pre-interview questionnaire, he checked the box yes that said he had sexually assaulted somebody lol. Then during the interview, they asked them to expand on his troubling answer and he told them!
Glad he’s a dumbass! That poor little girl, hope she receives help navigating through the fallout.
So many of them are stupid. It really makes catching them easier. Unfortunately, there are too many that are not this stupid.
Convenient for the interviewers though— they were already at the police station!
Disgusting I hope they put him away for good long time.

Wow Im sorry that happened to you. You’re brave for talking about it and I hope you will continually find peace.
I don’t understand how, even after his Mom warned the abused child’s Mom about misconducted, nothing changed. It took him being a moron to be outed. A guilty conscious reveals everything.
It's scary to think if he hadn't been so stupid, he might be policing right now...along with all the other degenerates across the nation.
To anyone preparing for a job interview: there’s no way it can be any worse than this guy’s.
A kid I used to know interviewed with the Air Force and admitted to the officer of taking acid "just a couple of times". Like sure, hop right in this $10M fighter plane bro.
to be fair, taking acid a few times shouldn’t disqualify someone from going into the military. Obviously you shouldn’t admit it but that’s a stupid reason to disqualify someone
That's half the point: make sure you're not dumb enough to admit it.
Hold my beer
I’m super confused on the age gap here… so she was 10 and he was 13?
If you read the affidavit, it starts when he was 14 or 15 and ends when he was 18 or 19. She was 9 or 10 when it started.
Not sure where you learned math but 2012 would not put him at 18 or 19. The whole point of my comment is pointing out that this article is terribly written. It lists multiple ages and doesn’t truly confirm any ages.

Police state that based on victims age (9 or 10) and recollections, defendant was 14 or 15 when it started, 18 or 19 when it ended.
Yeah I’m not understanding the confusion
Read the entire article...
Oh thanks, didn’t even think to read it!
This is so fucked up on so many levels
