Trooper To Be Charged In Porn Star Romp

(AP)  Prosecutors plan to seek an indictment against a former Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper after a porn actress wrote in her blog that she performed oral sex on him during a traffic stop and he took photos and video of the encounter.

District Attorney Tommy Thompson said Thursday that James Randy Moss could be charged with official misconduct and tampering with evidence.

The case is likely to be presented to a grand jury in July.

Since the allegations became public, more women have come forward to complain about inappropriate behavior by Moss, Thompson said in a phone call from Wilson County, the Nashville suburb where the first incident happened.

"If he wasn't such an idiot, this case would be his word against hers," Thompson said. "But he was such a genius he started sending all these photographs and everything. It blows my mind."

Moss was allowed to resign as a trooper rather than be fired.

Moss' attorney, Jack Lowery Sr., said the alleged sexual favorhappened after Moss issued the ticket.

"He had done what he would have normally done under all the circumstances, had finished his work and was walking back to his patrol car and then the second thing occurred," Lowery said. "Maybe he used very poor judgment at that point. Maybe he succumbed to the weakness of human frailties."

Using her porn film name "Barbie Cummings," Justis Richert, 21, of Knoxville, wrote on her blog the trooper sent her photos and video of their encounter after he stopped her May 7.

Moss issued Richert a citation for speeding. The blog said that although she acknowledged having drugs she described only as "happy pills," the trooper threw them into the brush near the highway.

After telling him she made "dirty movies," they watched sex videos in his patrol car and then he asked, "What does it cost for someone like me to get anything like you?" she wrote.

According to THP internal affairs records, Moss admitted to at least some of the blog's claims.

Thompson said the new complaints about Moss included allegations that he asked women drivers to show him their breasts. Some of the complaints may be too old to prosecute because of the statute of limitations on felonies, he said.

Well, at least he won't get impeached for the BJ, maybe he should have talked to Bill first

The only reason he IS being caught is because she blogged about what happened.

A) its obvious that cops feel that the "brotherhood" will protect them as they commit all kinds of immoral acts.
B) the reason he "was so stupid" to send all those images and photos is because, indeed, the "brotherhood" does protect each other when they do bad things, so they can all continue to do bad things and get away with it.
He didnt think he'd get caught or punished.
C) the prosecutor is right. But thats because the problem lies with the good ole boy mentality of hiring cops that are power hungry corrupt abusive men. .. even the ones that dont commit crimes against citizens often wont turn in their colleagues for either fear of retribution, breaking the 'code', or just they dont think theres a problem.

"If he wasn't such an idiot, this case would be his word against hers," Thompson said. "But he was such a genius he started sending all these photographs and everything. It blows my mind."

So it almost sounds like DA Thompson thinks that a cop should be able to get away with this typs of action. Not too bad, get oral s_e_x while on the clock. What a way to "protect and serve."

Besides, this topic is about a cop and a porn star, not Bush or his war.

There may have been some bush involved, unless she believes in being clean-shaven

I wonder why police departments don't take citizen complaints about bad cops seriously until it blows up in their face? THAT is something our society needs to fix!

Probably because too many who feel that they had been slighted by a cop when stopped, that they would file false complaints.

Ugly porn star needs a nose job.

I don't think her nose is what she uses to make her living. Besides, who could see it in doggy-style?

This story is awesome!
"If he wasn't such an idiot, this case would be his word against hers," Thompson said. "But he was such a genius he started sending all these photographs and everything. It blows my mind."

And what guy wouldn't tell everybody about the porn star he just *uhm* "Befriended."

Reminds me of the priest who canceled services on Sunday to go golfing. He hit 18 holes-in-one in a row. "How is this punishment?" asks St. Peter.

"Who can he tell?!?" Says God....

True. But there's nothing we can do about it until 2008, and by then Bush will have it so screwwed up that the next president elect won't be able to do a damnn thing about it. Unless we isolate Iran (or nuke 'em), we will be in this war for a very long time.

I know reading about a police and porn star is more exciting, but you are losing your country to a bunch of murderous fascist thugs. Bush LIED again yesterday, this time about his pretext to invade Iraq and kill Saddam:

Bush: %u201CAs you might remember back then, we tried the diplomatic route: [U.N. Resolution] 1441 was a unanimous vote in the Security Council that said disclose, disarm or face serious consequences. So the choice was his to make. And he made a choice that has subsequently caused him to lose his life.%u201D

In this old-favorite talking point, Bush never acknowledges the fact that Hussein did comply with Resolution 1441 by declaring accurately that he had disposed of his WMD stockpiles and by permitting U.N. inspectors free rein to inspect any site of their choosing. In March 2003, Bush forced the U.N. inspectors to leave and then, in defiance of the U.N. Charter, launched a preemptive invasion.

I know reading about a police and porn star is more exciting, but you are losing your country to a bunch of murderous fascist thugs.

It is unfortunate that it takes so much proof to get rid of bad cops. Even the DA admitted that without the photos, it would be her word against his. I had a beat cop reach over and pull my blouse open once, exposing my breasts, and when I asked what he was doing this for, he said it was "to check to see if I was a real woman" (or a transvestite; this happened on Hollywood Blvd. in 1978.) I complained to the police department and was laughed out of the lobby of the police station! They wouldn't even take a written report "for the file."

This girl had a lot of courage to go up against the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and I hope the resulting publicity is a great benefit to her career. =) But it's a good thing she had the photos, because if she hadn't, that cop would still be out there, using his position of authority to intimidate women into demeaning acts.

I wonder why police departments don't take citizen complaints about bad cops seriously until it blows up in their face? THAT is something our society needs to fix!
