Sherwood cop Adam Keesee intimidated wife's accuser, encouraged her abuse of students, lawsuit claims

http://www.oregonlive.com/sherwood/index.ssf/2014/05/sherwood_cop_adam_keesee_intim.html

After Sherwood Police Officer Adam Keesee discovered that his wife had molested one of her students, he reported it to his coworkers, court records say.

But instead of investigating Denise Keesee, then a Sherwood High School teacher, her husband and five other officers set out to intimidate, harass and coerce the boy into not taking any action against her, records say.

That’s the crux of a $1.5 million lawsuit against Adam Keesee, five unnamed Sherwood officers and the City of Sherwood. The former student’s complaint was filed last week in Washington County Circuit Court.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested Denise Keesee last year on charges of sexually abusing the plaintiff and another student.

Soon afterward, the plaintiff filed a $5.1 million lawsuit against Denise Keesee and the Sherwood School District last year. That civil case is still pending.

In February, she pleaded guilty to sexually abusing one of the students, but not the one suing her. She was sentenced last month to 30 days in custody and five years of probation. As part of her plea deal, she faces a possible prison sentence if she violates her probation.

The suit against her husband, five unnamed officers and the City of Sherwood claims civil rights violations, assault and battery, false arrest and imprisonment and intentional infliction of severe emotional distress.

Sherwood City Attorney Chris Crean and Adam Keesee's lawyer, Dan Thenell, said Friday they could not comment on the allegations because they hadn't seen the complaint.

The cops began harassing the teen after he reported inappropriate contact with Denise Keesee to his school counselor and vice principal, according to his complaint. School officials, he says, didn't believe him and declined to inform police or Child Protective Services.

The complaint says that after the student reported the abuse, Denise Keesee told her husband. Adam Keesee then “began illegally using his position as a City of Sherwood Police Officer to intimidate, threaten, ridicule, assault, batter, and falsely imprison” the boy in incidents between 2007 and 2009.

The specific allegations include:

Adam Keesee pulled the teen over for driving without a license or insurance, but the teen had both; after forcing the teen to wait in his vehicle for nearly two hours, the officer “threw the license and proof of insurance back at Plaintiff, vowing that he would make it a point to take Plaintiff’s license for life”

In September 2007, the teen went to a high school football game, where Adam Keesee tackled and handcuffed him and searched his pockets, saying he had thought the cellphone in the teen’s back pocket was a gun; the cop released the teen at the field entrance and banned him from attending the game

Adam Keesee put the teen in a holding cell once and took a photo, which the officer then sent to his wife; Denise Keesee printed the picture and showed it to students in her class

The plaintiff was once speaking with a Sherwood officer about an unrelated matter when Adam Keesee arrived, exited his patrol car and began choking the teen, yelling that he could harm the teen “badge or no badge”; the other officer stopped the assault when the teen began to turn purple

Adam Keesee and another cop stopped the plaintiff in 2009 and took him to jail on suspicion of intoxicated driving, after Adam Keesee had declared he would “burn” the teen at every opportunity; a drug citation was later dropped and the plaintiff was released after spending two weeks in jail

According to the complaint, the defendants ignored reports of misconduct by the teacher, “actual knowledge of Denise Keesee grooming students for future molestation” and the abuse of multiple students.

This, the plaintiff alleges, amounted to the defendants permitting and so much as encouraging sexual abuse by Denise Keesee.

During the course of his wife's prosecution, Oregon State Police investigated Adam Keesee on allegations of intimidation, harassment and official misconduct.

Adam Keesee was placed on leave last year, and he remains on leave, the department said Friday.

The Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the state police investigation and declined to bring charges against the officer.

The cop acted unprofessionally in his dealings with the teen but didn’t commit any crimes, prosecutor Bryan Brock wrote in a February charging decision. “Officer Keesee’s conduct was motivated by personal gain and designed to harm (the teen),” the decision says.

In his memo, Brock said it was clear that Adam Keesee wanted “to get back at” the teen. However, the prosecutor concluded that crimes could not be proven.

Its vey rare that something surprises me anymore. The last part im bold nearly made me throw my phone into a wall. Cop could have murdered this kid in frint of a sea of people and would have still gotten away with it. Hell, if he did that he probably would have been able to keep his job. Pussy cop and pussy DA, whatever retribution this kid and his family fantasize about is still too good for all the pricks involved.

Good cop. Just took him a minute or so to realize it.

There are at least three individuals in this story that would simply need to disappear for their conduct if this were a just society.

Here's an article from the local paper;

Sherwood cop, placed on leave after sex abuse suit filed against wife, under state police investigation

A Sherwood police officer, already on leave pending an inquiry into sex abuse allegations involving his wife, is now under investigation by state police, authorities said Wednesday.
The investigation into Officer Adam Keesee started within the past couple of weeks, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, a state police spokesman. Hastings would not comment on what specific allegations the agency is investigating.

Once complete, the case will be sent to the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office for review. Hastings did not know who requested the investigation.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office has been investigating Keesee's wife, Denise, a former Sherwood High School teacher accused of sexually abusing students. In late June, the agency said if it uncovered any evidence of wrongdoing by Adam Keesee, it would turn the information over to Sherwood police.

The Sherwood Police Department on June 25 announced that Adam Keesee had been placed on paid administrative leave pending the ongoing criminal inquiry into his wife. The department would not say whether Adam Keesee was the subject of an internal investigation.

Capt. Ty Hanlon, a Sherwood police spokesman, declined to comment about the state police investigation Wednesday. Hanlon said Adam Keesee remains on paid leave.

Adam Keesee was placed on leave following media reports on a lawsuit filed by a former student against his wife that also alleged wrongdoing by the officer. Police would not say if Adam Keesee's leave was related to allegations in the lawsuit.

Dan Thenell, of Thenell Law Group, which is representing Adam Keesee, said the officer has welcomed the state police investigation.

"My client is glad that an outside agency is going to investigate the allegations of this alleged victim in the civil complaint," Thenell said. "While no one has told us that’s what the state police is going to be investigating, I think it’s a reasonable inference...If the state police does a thorough investigation, which I think they will, it will be very easy to disprove some of the allegations...”

Denise Keesee, 39, who worked as a math and special education teacher, was charged in Washington County Circuit Court in June with six counts of second-degree sexual abuse involving two teen boys. The school district placed her on leave in November after learning of a criminal investigation into her. She resigned from her job in May.

The lawsuit, filed June 20 in Circuit Court against Denise Keesee and the Sherwood School District, seeks $5.1 million on claims of sexual abuse. Portland Attorney Randall Vogt filed the complaint on behalf of the plaintiff, who he said is one of the victims named in the criminal case against Denise Keesee.
Craig Nichols, also a Portland attorney, is now representing the plaintiff in that case, according to court records. Vogt declined to comment Wednesday about why he is no longer involved in the suit. Court records offer no explanation for the plaintiff's change in counsel.

The lawsuit alleges Denise Keesee told her husband about her relationship with the plaintiff. Adam Keesee, according to the complaint, began harassing the student by pulling him over on traffic stops and pointing his firearm at the boy.

"In doing so, Officer Keesee actively attempted to prevent Plaintiff from coming forward to the police about what happened," the complaint says.

Adam Keesee worked as the school resource officer at Sherwood High School starting in September 2011 and was reassigned in December last year. He was working patrol before he was placed on leave.

Washington County Sheriff's Detective Robert Rookhuyzen has said Adam Keesee's role in the school may have prevented students from coming forward with information about Denise Keesee because they didn't want to report it to her husband.

According to court records, Adam Keesee told detectives in an interview that his wife met with one of the student victims several times for "one-on-one" conversations. He also knew of them going to a movie together once. He reportedly told detectives he should have "reeled her in" regarding her relationship with that student.

Adam Keesee served as the high school's lacrosse coach until December. He sent lacrosse players and families an email on Jan. 14 to say the district did not renew his coaching contract after he refused instructions to resign. At a January school board meeting, board members declined to say why Adam Keesee's contract was not renewed, but cited concerns for student safety and potential liability.

The school district this week denied The Oregonian's request for records related to its decision to not renew Adam Keesee's contract.

Emily E. Smith and Fenit Nirappil of The Oregonian staff contributed to this report.

Hahahahaha! That has to be a bitter, bitter pill for a God in Blue to accept. This Hero of America couldn't even satisfy his wife, so she had to seek sexual gratification from a child.

Ah hah!

That answered a couple of questions I had.

So he was the prison guard, where all this happened, now some of it makes sense, even though that was after the incidents in the lawsuit.

+rep for that story.

Thirty days with 5 years of probation. Meanwhile the boy got a life sentence. And her husband was the warden?? Man ain't that rich...

If the state won't take care of this disgusting pair I certainly hope they meet justice somewhere. My heart goes out to those who were abused by them. :(
