Former KCK detective accused of sexually assaulting Black women is dead, prosecutors say

A FORMER KANSAS POLICE DETECTIVE ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING BLACK WOMEN AND GIRLS DIED MONDAY IN AN APPARENT SUICIDE - JUST AS HIS FEDERAL TRIAL WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
AUTHORITIES SAY ROGER GOLUBSKI DIED FROM A GUNSHOT WOUND, AND THAT THERE'S NO INDICATION OF FOUL PLAY.
AUTHORITIES SAY HE WAS FOUND ON HIS BACK PORCH AFTER A NEIGHBOR REPORTED HEARING A GUNSHOT.
THE 71-YEAR-OLD GOLUBSKI WAS FACING SIX FELONY COUNTS OF VIOLATING WOMEN’S CIVIL RIGHTS.
HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY -- BUT DID NOT APPEAR IN COURT MONDAY FOR JURY SELECTION. HIS ATTORNEY SAID HE WAS "DESPONDENT ABOUT THE MEDIA COVERAGE."
