Violet Martin is still rebuilding from the things that happened to her family in 1997, when her brother and cousin were sentenced to 25 years to life for a crime they did not commit. They say KCKPD Detective Roger Golubski set them up for murder.

In this episode, we sit with Violet Martin, and hear from Lora McDonald, Executive Director of MORE2, about how the harm from Roger Golubski's actions is still being felt today.

In 2022, Michelle Houcks finally spoke out. For 30 years, she'd been keeping a secret about the man she says raped her. Out of fear for herself and her family, she stayed quiet. Then she started seeing his face on the news, and someone leaked her name.

In this episode, we unpack the charges that KCKPD Detective Roger Golubski was scheduled to face, and hear Michelle's story.

Some say he met them through his job. Some say he came to their houses, or offered them a ride home. According to dozens of women, Roger Golubski, a detective with the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, raped, assaulted and stalked them. Now, after decades of secrecy and fear, he stands trial in Federal Court. Golubski is charged with assault, rape and kidnapping. And he's been accused of much more.

On Corruption Uncovered, we share stories of the women, the police department and Golubski himself; and we grapple with the questions left in the wake of it all. How could someone prey on so many people without consequence? Who else knew? And what will it take for the community to feel safe again?
