Former Assistant Police Chief Norman Wilkerson, Jr. has been charged with four cases of sexually assaulting children between 10 and 16 beginning back in 1998.
"I suspect this man thought he would never be accountable for his crimes, but justice, though it came slowly, came with certainty. I suspect he also believed that his position in law enforcement would somehow protect him, but now he knows that no occupation of any kind will ever excuse the execution of justice when it arrives," said Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon.
Montogomery county officials say they guided and consulted with the victims during the two years following Wilkerson’s arrest.
