Forty-two women and 10 minors say they plan to sue the West Virginia State Police after an investigation revealed that a camera had been hidden in the women’s locker room at the State Police Training Academy in Institute.
The discovery is just one of a number of alarming allegations that were brought to light when Gov. Jim Justice (R) received an anonymous letter in February detailing over a dozen incidents of misconduct within the state police department—including intoxicated altercations, office affairs, misappropriated funds, sexual assaults, and more. But as of now, the only allegation to spur legal action is that a state trooper had installed a video camera in the women’s locker room at the police training academy. Not only did the footage show women being recorded, but—sickeningly—underage girls who were enrolled in the Junior Trooper Academy, too.
