    Rape is the word the headline should have used, not “had sex with”. Rape. It was rape.

    He coerced and manipulated the victim using his position of power.

    Kelly Davis says she first met Kenoyer when she filed a police report outlining that she was being sex trafficked and retaliated against by multiple members of the Teller County community. Kenoyer was then assigned to her case in October, 2021.

    “It was a consensual relationship, but it was a consensual relationship based on gaslighting and lies and manipulations that he used his police training and skills to ultimately satiate his sexual desires,” Kelly Davis tells 13 Investigates.

    He got 58 days and 2 years probation for rape. I guess at least he was held somewhat accountable… even if it’s not nearly enough. This is why victims frequently don’t report.
