This photo provided by the Montgomery County, Ala. Detention Center shows Christopher Bauer after his Tuesday, April 27, 2021 arrest. The Alabama state trooper who was arrested on charges he raped an 11-year-old girl had been kicked out of the FBI amid a string of sexual misconduct allegations but was hired by the state agency anyway with the apparent help of a fake bureau letter that scrubbed his record clean.
But Alabama authorities either overlooked or were unaware of that history. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the state police, told AP that it conducted a “full and thorough” investigation into Bauer’s background when he applied to be a trooper in 2019 and that “no derogatory comments were uncovered by former employers.”Bauer indicated on his application that he was still employed by the FBI and had never been dismissed or forced to resign because of disciplinary action.
Bauer remained jailed Wednesday on $105,000 bail, and court records do not list an attorney who could comment on his behalf. An attorney who represented Bauer in challenging his ouster from the FBI did not respond to requests for comment. “You have to ask yourself why an agent from the FBI would want to leave after 10 years,” said Lou Reiter, a policing consultant and former deputy chief with the Los Angeles Police Department. “They obviously didn’t do any kind of due diligence with their background check.”
An Air Force veteran, Bauer was a member of the Montgomery police force before joining the FBI in 2009, working a number of high-profile cases in the New Orleans field office. He has disputed the sexual misconduct claims made by his FBI co-worker, telling colleagues the acts were consensual.
Double trouble. Triple problems difficult issues.
RealNoraC Disgusting
One bad apple though. Right?
This story is weird as hell.
Fucking disgusting at every level.
Can we just shoot him now?
😵😡
So this is what being given the benefit of the doubt looks like.
American sickness on full display
His name: Christopher Bauer
So the question is why was he not charged? I would venture to guess it has something to do with white FBI agent.
ACAB.

LEOs believe LEOs... he said he was good, so no need for due diligence (eyeroll).
Man it’s almost like there’s a pattern of hiring officers who are a danger to the community
WTH?
My god
Excuse me?!

Nice job coach SenTuberville
I’m so shocked... Not... Welcome to law enforcement in America. Corrupt to the core.
Bloody heck America you have some seriously fucked up and sick wankers working for law enforcement I thought the FBI had serious and hi-tech systems for checking out candidates who want to join law enforcement, Not only do they employ racist now they employ pedophiles
This sort of thing feels less and less like an outlier.
It seems even a cop can’t outsmart the cops.
Oh my, another one that the QAnon people just never seem to be able to find.
Primary source verification, Alabama State police. Just do it and you don't hire pedophiles.
Does anyone know how to write a database? Does anyone in power know what a database is
Need serious police reform
