Back in April, Coppell Deputy Police Chief Matthew Kosec abruptly resigned from the department. He didn't give a reason, nor did the city, which said only that he'd been on administrative leave for weeks while an internal affairs investigation was conducted.
Meanwhile, both The Dallas Morning News and CBS 11 each filed an open records request for copies of the 145-page investigative report, which they finally got their hands on yesterday.
According to the report, a female cop filed a complaint against Kosec in March after the deputy chief beckoned her to his desk, where a crowd of police department employees were gathered, laughing at pictures. He told another officer to go back and show the woman a picture taken from the phone of an 18-year-old assault suspect -- the Morning News says he's a junior or senior high school football player -- showing him "nude and either touching or covering his genitals."
Kosec doesn't deny his colleague's allegations, nor does he deny that passing around nude photos was a really dumb idea. "There was no reason for her (or me, for that matter) to view the pictures," he wrote in a statement included in the investigative report, according to CBS 11. "I took an oath that prohibits this type of conduct and for that i will always be ashamed."
It will also be tough for him to find a new job, at least so long as a Google search of his name prominently features news of his resignation. So for now, according to his official LinkedIn status, he is "open to opportunities."
