WATE supplied us with a statement from RSCC Director of Public Safety William N. Kain
“The allegation is deeply troubling, and we take it very seriously. Our highest priority is always student safety. The allegation was made to local authorities, who then contacted Roane State in October as part of their investigation. The officer was immediately placed on administrative leave, removed from campus, and then later resigned. The college’s police department and administration have worked with local law enforcement to provide any assistance they have needed throughout their investigation.”
