One Metro Officer
Turned Red Rock Canyon
Into His Own, Private, Peep Show
In the fall of that year, Las Vegas Metro Officer Michael Ramirez spotted Norma McKee and Michael Healy gazing up at the stars in a car parked at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Dressed in plain clothes, Ramirez approached the couple, displayed his badge and gun, and asked them to get out of the car.
According to testimony McKee gave to a grand jury, Ramirez shined a flashlight at her genitals as climbed out if the car and then inquired as to whether she was wearing underwear.
He then ordered her to pull up her dress and fondled her vaginal area, according, she told the jury. Then under the threat of framing them for a crime, Ramirez ordered the couple to have sex while he watched.
Healy told the grand jury he then performed oral sex on McKee while the officer watched, because Ramirez implied the two would be arrested if they didn’t comply with his wishes.
After the couple filed a complaint with LVMPD, Ramirez was arrested on charges n charges of sexual assault, open and gross lewdness and oppression. Ramirez’s case drug on for two years, during which time he lost his job and home. When he entered his guilty pleas to two counts of oppression under the color of office, admitting he used his badge, gun and the indirect threat of arrest to force the couple to engage in sex in front of him, the 30-year-old was living in Phoenix, working as a plumber. Ramirez was sentenced to a combination of probation and house arrest.
He needed to share a cell with big bubba for a few years so he could get his jollies off right.
