The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, agreed to pay $12.5 million to Lamonte McIntyre and his mother, Rosie McIntyre, after he spent twenty-three years in prison for a double murder he did not commit. McIntyre was seventeen years old when he was arrested for the shooting deaths of two men in 1994. McIntyre was released in 2017 after a local prosecutor asked the court to vacate his convictions and drop all charges because prosecutors in the original trial had no physical evidence tying McIntyre to the murders and had largely relied on testimonies that were allegedly coerced. In a lawsuit filed in 2018, the McIntyres alleged that starting in the 1980s, Detective Roger Golubski had made sexual demands of Rosie and threatened to arrest her and her boyfriend if she did not consent. Golubski went on to sexually assault and harass her, and she moved to escape the abuse. Later, Golubski allegedly framed her son in the double homicide case. The lawsuit also alleged that Golubski repeatedly abused and exploited Black women for sex and then used them as anonymous “informants” to clear his other cases or to protect drug dealers. Over seventy women whom Golubski allegedly victimized were listed in the pretrial order. Since Lamonte’s incarceration, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Rosie was in and out of psychological treatment for years and was also diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Golubski worked at the Kansas City Police Department as a Captain until his retirement in 2010, receiving a full pension, and then went to serve as a Detective at the Edwardsville Police Department until 2016. The Unified Government did not admit to wrongdoing through paying the settlement. |
