Episode Details

A former Indiana fire chief, Roger Kemp, faces multiple new charges for allegedly abusing a teenage girl over a decade ago, including sexual misconduct and child exploitation. The now-28-year-old victim, who first met Kemp at age 14, came forward with evidence — including USB drives — that led to his initial resignation and charges. Prosecutors are using Kemp’s chilling admission that “no one would believe her” as proof of intent. Despite the statute of limitations, special provisions allow prosecution in sexual abuse cases when new evidence emerges. The victim is speaking out to protect other girls and is concerned about her child’s unsupervised visits with Kemp. Kemp’s trials are set for September, and the fire department, which has since overhauled its hiring practices, insists his actions do not reflect their values — and that accountability will be enforced regardless of status.
