what would you do if a cop in your town, that came from the neighboring town, was abusing his power over young girls?

Title says it all, this was a resource cop at the elementary and preschools last year.

The city put him on full time, and so far there are rumors that he has had younger girls trade sexual (blowjobs) for whatever and then screws them in the rear.

Know I have met this cop, don't know if he is city or county. But I am familiar with the Sherriff.

I am also familiar with police from the next town over he supposedly grew up in.

I detest nothing more than a cop who would take advantage of frightened girls, who work at the only 24hr gas station in out town. Not to mention being a sexual deviant.

We also had a sheriff's deputy brought up on charges for misconduct with minors.

Should I talk to our sheriff? Or the next town over deputies? OR talk to the State Police?

This is KY.

Advice warranted, I run the internet and cable system for both towns and am familiar to people involved.

I would not contact his superiors at first. It's understandable you want action against this guy. But, for action to happen, there needs to be evidence. Sure, he might be violating his code of conduct in his training manual, but the system we have requires some degree of solid proof.

That is because his superiors will also be his fact finder and adjudicator, and thus they can simply "hide facts" so he gets off easy. The risk of him scurrying away because his buddies relay someone got a nose on his trail is high.

You might have to pay money to find a willing PI to track him around to see what he is doing and find one of the minors or their parents be willing to talk. Or the local press/journalists(sounds like a small town so the number of journalists might be slim).

You could try the FBI, but they may not be able to do anything if everything is intrastate or if the matter appears too small for them.

Many times the only reason an authority takes action is the fear of public humiliation. The incentive structure to punish is not on some idealized objective morality, but is dependent on how cozy Sheriff is with his underlings. Government after all, is merely a variation of business--an immortal business, especially the smaller local govenment(some are literally "municipal corporations").

Since this guy is a cop, he understands the "system" quite well due to his experience on the job so even currently, investigating him may be trickly.

That's a really hard one. Anything you try could backfire hard on you, and maybe even put you or your family in danger. I'd tread carefully, but I'd also feel the need to want to do something... really tough situation all around.

Before you do anything familiarize yourself with TOR and VPNs and how to use them correctly, including how to pay for the service anonymously. Maybe even lookup how to become a hacker or how to join Anonymous or something along those lines, it's a rather universal search phrase that probably a lot of people search at some point so you'll blend in more in the logs, but while searching you'll find lot of tips on hiding your traces. Treat this like if you're actually about to hack into the pentagon or something, except, you're just sending an email. So you want to think of all the potential ways that email can be traced back to you.

Maybe find a local news reporter who would be interested in taking the story...and keeping you out of it.

That might be the best bet. Send as much info and evidence as you can anonymously. Send to a couple of them and make sure they know about the fact that you sent to more than one. They'll be more likely to want to run a story so they can be the first. Some of the more investigative journalist types may even want to run their own investigations so they can get more info themselves. At that point it leaves you out of it.
