Editorial: You would think that a child molesting California cop would lose his fat pension, but no

Because sexually assaulting his two young daughters was not “work-related,” former California Highway Patrol lieutenant Johnnie Swaim gets to draw almost six figures in an annual, taxpayer-funded pension.

Thanks for your service?

Though the jury that convicted Swaim of four felony counts of child molestation in 2013 in fact found that what he’d been doing was just the opposite of law enforcement, it’s apparently to his advantage that violating his own girls, both of whom were under 10 at the time, was not in his job description.
