The city of Louisville has filed a claim against ex-Louisville Metro Police Officers Kenneth Betts and Brandon Wood, who are accused of sexually abusing a member of the department’s Youth Explorers program.
Monday’s filing demands Betts and Wood pay damages awarded to the plaintiff, identified as N.C. The city is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
The pleading denies the lawsuit’s allegations that the police department failed to train and monitor the officers and concealed the subsequent allegations.
Separately, Betts asked a judge Monday to dismiss the lawsuit saying plaintiff attorney David Yates violated a court order by discussing the case with the press before the lawsuit was unsealed.
