A white ex-Kansas detective accused of sexually assaulting Black women is dead. Prosecutors made the announcement Monday morning just as the former detective's trial was set to begin. Seventy-one-year-old Roger Golubski had failed to appear in federal court for jury selection. Golbuski faced six felony counts of violating women’s civil rights. Prosecutors say Golubski demanded sexual favors from female residents of poor neighborhoods and would sometimes threaten to jail their relatives if they turned him down. Golubski's attorney said his client “was despondent about the media coverage.”
