Flutterby™! : Murderer and Extortionist, with a badge

Two women describe how an indicted Columbis Ohio vice officer pressured them to trade sex for rent

In the federal motion, the U.S. attorney’s office described Mitchell’s dealings with women in Columbus as an abuse of his power as an officer, and a reason to deny him bail. “The victims and witnesses who will provide testimony against the defendant are terrified of him,” the motion states. “They fear that they will be retaliated against by the defendant and other law enforcement officers because they have come forward to provide evidence against a police officer. These fears are not unfounded. Multiple victims, when asked if they had reported these incidents, consistently responded that they could not ‘report it to the police because it was the police.’ The defendant further instilled these fears by telling them ‘even if you reported me, no one will believe you because you are just a prostitute’.”
