This office has still never apologized to a child rape victim for labeling her a liar and prosecuting her.

Last year, we wrote about survivor Taylor Cadle. When she was 12, she told police she’d been raped. They said she was lying and charged her with false reporting. She then took the extraordinary measure of recording the next act of abuse.

Now, Taylor has legal counsel and filed a lawsuit.

Taylor Cadle was 12 years old when she reported being sexually abused by her adoptive father. A detective at
@polkcosheriffnw.bsky.social decided she was a liar and should be criminalized. Taylor wrote this letter of apology as a part of her probation requirements.
