A former Los Angeles County sex crimes detective abused a 15-year-old girl whose sexual assault case he was investigating in 2017
Photo: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department A former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department sex-crimes detective pleaded guilty on July 9 to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl whose case he was investigating back in 2017. Neil David Kimball, a 20-year veteran of the department, pleaded guilty to two charges of a felony lewd act on a child and felony unlawful sexual intercourse.
Kimball was initially charged with raping the victim while she was tied or bound, but DA spokeswoman Patrice Koenig said prosecutors determined that they could not prove Kimball had used force during the incident, reports the New York Times. Kimball was also accused of “witness intimidation by threat of force.” Under the new plea agreement, he is expected to be sentenced to three years in prison and will have to register as a sex offender.
This was not the first time Kimball had been accused of sexual assault. In 2009, Kimball was investigated for sexual battery stemming from an incident that occurred at a Travel Inn hotel the year prior. As reported by ABC7, Kimball and his partner had been questioning a group of women at the hotel when some of them asked to use the bathroom.
There was improper conduct during a 2014 investigation. Sara Abusheikh, a Los Angeles fashion designer, wrote about an experience she had with Kimball when he was assigned to her sexual-assault case in 2014. In a Medium essay titled “Surviving Los Angeles Special Victims Unit,” Abusheikh describes meeting with Kimball to talk about the sexual assault she had endured from an acquaintance.
