Over 50 women and underage girls plan to sue the department after an anonymous letter and investigation exposed hidden camera footage from the training academy.
that were brought to light when Gov. Jim Justice 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.
In late March—just a month after the letter was made public—Justice told reporters that a USB flash drive with the footage on it had been found, and other troopers allegedly “threw it on the floor and stomped on it.”According to Toriseva, the victims who were recorded without their consent say they’re now suffering from anxiety, humiliation, and emotional distress.
