Kevin Ruditsky was a New Jersey police officer. At National Night Out – an event designed to foster good relations between police and the communities they serve – Ruditsky met a sixteen-year-old girl. After the event he began stalking her.
He asked for her address on social media. She refused and reminded him she was just sixteen. He used his access to law enforcement data to get her address and parked his car in front of her home. He pulled her over, handcuffed, and kissed her. He sent her sexually explicit messages and images.
He has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, official misconduct, computer theft, hindering apprehension, stalking and false imprisonment. He is currently suspended from work.
