James Silke, KC cop accused of sodomizing teen, uses the drunk defense

"Real men get in naked," Kansas City police officer James Silke is accused of telling his son's 19-year-old friend after allegedly getting him drunk and trying to entice him into a hot tub.

That was after Silke, 52, allegedly fed the teen shot after shot of rum, according to KMBC Channel 9. Silke was at home and off-duty at the time of the alleged assault.

Silke, a 25-year veteran of the KCPD, fessed up to drinking with the teen but blamed the teen for being the aggressor and later admitted sex acts occurred among him, the teen and another man, according to KMBC.



But Silke wanted to make sure his comrades knew he's

"heterosexual and none of the sex acts would have occurred if he had not

been drinking." Good to know.

Silke also clarified that the teen "was probably too drunk to know what

he did or lying." You're a police officer and you're claiming a teen was

too wasted to consent? Not good.

Not that court records didn't back the statement up. The teen claimed he

drank about 12 shots of rum and three beers. What allegedly followed

was a hot tub fondling, puking, porn watching and more unwanted

advances. Then Silke allegedly sodomized the teen while he was sitting

on a bar stool. After the teen puked in a bathroom and then passed out

in his friend's bedroom.

The next day, the teen told his girlfriend that he was "violated" and it

was "pretty much like rape,' KMBC reported. The girlfriend had the teen

go to a hospital to get a rape exam and call the police.

Silke

worked in North Patrol as a liaison between the department and apartment

managers. He's suspended without pay and probably in constant contact

with his union rep. He is charged with felony deviate sexual assault in

Clay County.

As being a member of KCPD, I must say I've been very embarassed by all the wrong doing that has ocurred. If you really only knew about the inner racism that goes on, you'd puke your guts out. I'm not talking about the caucasion folks, it's the African American cops/commanders (those commanders know who they are!!!!) Taking care of their own is the highest on their list!!! Just ask around!!!!!!

KCPD sucks they KNOW they have problems but ignore them. They could care less about public safety. As soon as they make Sgt they put in for desk jobs. Why do Deputy Chiefs need sworn officers as aides? Hire civilian secretaries. You don't need arrest powers and a gun to type an take phone calls. BUT this is how the PD works. They set it up so they get cushion jobs at Taxpayer expense.

This is not the first time this sleeze-ball has been accused of deviant sexual misconduct. I believe he has another case in the works. He's a fucking predator with a gun- two huge strikes against the well-being of the general public. Put this piece of shit behind bars- for good.

Let's see Taxpayers.

1)Kansas City, MO police officer in the Internal Affairs division was cited with careless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol while crashing police car.

2)KCPD Detention Officer Charged With Promoting Prostitution.

3)Former KCPD Officer Holmes Awarded $6.5 Million In Lawsuit for race discrimination, whistle blowing and breach of contract.

4)The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department has launched an investigation into the hiring practices of the Kansas City Police

5) 25-Year Police Veteran Charged with Sexual Assault

6 )KCPD deploys plain-clothes police throughout downtown in an effort to crack down on jaywalkers during NAACP convention.

Think theres a problem in KCPD.
