Ex-GA Police Officer Quevius Thornton Pleads Guilty to Sex with Two Underage Girls, One He Mentored

DISGRACEFUL: Former DeKalb County police officer Quevius Thornton, a married father of two, pleaded guilty on Monday to child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, statutory rape, simple battery and marijuana possession for having sex with two 15 year old girls, one of whom he was reportedly mentoring. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, plus 10 years probation. According to WBSTV, Thornton, engaged in illegal sex acts at two different DeKalb County elementary schools and at Shoal Creek Park.

Thornton tearfully apologized before his plea. A victim and her family cried as they ran out of court. The judge scolded Thornton, calling his actions appalling. She told him instead of talking about himself, he should talk about the hurt he brought to the victims. She said he should write a letter to the police department apologizing for bringing disgrace to the force. Source

These dirtbags won't stop messing with people's kids until some vigilante justice is carried out. This man was a mentor and look what he did to this girl. Judge Cynthia Becker told him she was not in a "position to forgive him." She also said she was appalled at his behavior, which has led to a violation of trust of the public and his fellow officers, not to mention his wife and kids. It must be so hard and so painful for his wife to tell his kids why daddy is going to prison. Shameful.
