Ex-deputy accused of sex abuse found dead in Missouri jail

Updated 1:39 pm, Sunday, March 27, 2016


STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo. (AP) — Missouri state police are investigating the jail death of a former sheriff's deputy who was facing federal and state charges of sexually abusing women and enticing a minor into prostitution.

Marty Rainey was found dead Saturday morning in the Ste. Genevieve County jail, sheriff's Maj. Jason Schott told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1VOUC06 ). The death of the 52-year-old Rainey, who lived in Sullivan and formerly worked as a deputy in Gasconade County in east-central Missouri, appears to be a suicide, Schott said. He declined to say whether Rainey had been on suicide watch.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol's investigation of the "in-custody death" is standard procedure, Schott said.

Court documents allege Rainey would threaten or coerce women into having sex while he was on duty.

2. Oh well. hey, a game is on!!

3. Perhaps he realized he was a monster?

8. Not likely. He probably killed himself before the prison population got him. nt

4. Its odd how so many cops end up rapists.

5. do you have stats on cops vs say, teachers, or welders, or nurses, or auto workers?

6. I think cops are more "newsworthy" because they are trained to help

those that they abuse.

Anyone who holds power over someone...be it family or work...must be held to a higher standard...and treated as same.

9. And how many end up racists. nt

7. Oh such a horrible fate!

I abhor any forms of violence to sex offenders.
