The Case of That Sex Scandal Deputy Took a Very Bizarre Turn

Last month I posted the insane story of Sacramento of Deputy Sheriff Shauna Bishop, who is a career choice and an education degree away from being one of the great Sex Scandal Teachers of all time:

The 16-year-old boy who Sacramento Sheriff’s Deputy Shauna Bishop is charged with seducing is the son of her former boyfriend, a fellow deputy in the department, court records say.

Bishop, 45, was arrested on her birthday last Thursday. …

The boy’s mother … and Bishop became close friends after Bishop and the boy’s father broke up, and Bishop spent the night in late April at the home the mother and son share, court records say.

Bishop arrived at 8 p.m. because she wanted to discuss the boy’s drinking and marijuana use with the mother, court records say. …

By the time that session ended it was midnight and Bishop decided to spend the night, with Bishop sharing the mother’s bed, the documents say. Both women took Ambien, and Bishop offered to help the mother the next morning by preparing the boy’s lunch for school.

Instead, Bishop went to the boy’s room that night, according to a statement he gave police. …

“Then she started kissing on me. While she was kissing me, she was touching my side and I was touching her back and then her legs. Then she moved from touching my side, to my thighs, and began rubbing my penis while she was kissing me. We only made out for a second, and then I think she heard my mom coming, because she stopped.”

The two women left his room, but Bishop returned about two minutes later, court documents say.

“I took her shirt off, and she was kissing on me, and then she started (performing oral sex),” the boy said.

Bishop got up periodically to check the bedroom door, then told him she would be back and left … and a few minutes later she came back.

“When she walked in she said, ‘I knew this was going to happen tonight.’”

Bishop performed oral sex on the boy, then asked, “Are you ready for this?” and the two had intercourse, the documents say.

Afterward, Bishop performed oral sex on him again, then left “and said something about not telling anyone,” the boy told police. …

That day Bishop and the boy spoke by cell phone in a 69-minute conversation, and Bishop “blamed them having sex on porn,” court documents say.

“Bishop went on to tell (the boy) she watched stepmom/stepson related porn videos that made her (fantasize) about him,” the documents say. “Bishop told (the boy) she thinks about (him) while she masturbates and had wanted them to have sex for a long time.

“She told (the boy) she used to walk around his dad’s house naked, hoping he would walk in on her.”

The documents say that after police seized her cell phone, investigators found “several pornographic web searches (that) revealed she viewed ‘stepmom, stepson’ related pornographic videos prior to the reported incident, and several the day after the reported incident.

“Each video she watched corresponded with the sexual acts performed by Bishop that (the boy) described during his second (police) interview,” the documents say. …

The documents say Bishop claimed she was “disgusted, scared and sad,” and that she had researched side effects of Ambien, the documents say, adding that investigators found no such searches on her phone’s web history.

And I assumed that would be that. I didn’t see myself ever revisiting the story. That it would just be one-off. Done and done. Unless suddenly 45 year old law enforcement MILFs befriending their ex’s wives so they can get high and seduce their 16 year old sons right under their noses and blaming it on stepmom porn becomes a national phenomenon. In which I’d have to start a “Grading the Newest Sex Scandal Cop” feature and I’d have to hire interns to help me keep up.

Well, I have an update. Thanks to a sub from a Reddit thread about, of all things, the Golden State Killer who reached out to me. By way of background, in case you don’t know, GSK – who was sometimes referred to as the East Area Rapist or the Original Night Stalker – was wanted for 13 murders, 50 rapes and at least 100 break ins committed over the course of a dozen years. Personally, I’m not a huge “murder porn” guy and never listen to the true crime podcasts or watch the TV shows. But even I know about the GSK, mainly due to the fact Patton Oswalt’s late wife had written extensively about the case and the culprit, Joseph James D’Angelo Jr, was captured after her death and is currently rotting in jail awaiting his eternity of having a train run on him in a by all the demons in a fiery Hell.

Here’s where Shauna Bishop comes in:

Reader email – The deputy was in charge of escorting and containing one of the most prolific rapists, child rapists, and murderers in American history.  He is known as the “Golden State Killer”.  I’m way involved in the case. This could be one of your best stories. You need to run with it. Also, for 45 years old…Damn.

And sure enough. It’s a terrible photo but without a doubt that is her, standing in the same cage as this monster:

I don’t even know what to make of this. One minute she’s a certified hero. A woman with a badge, behind bars with and tasked with the professional handling of the most notorious criminal in California since Charles Manson. Someone for all law enforcement and corrections officers to look up to for your courage and bravery. The next, you’re sneaking into your friend’s kid’s bedroom to act out the stuff you watch on Pornhub.

It’s the weirdest and most unlikely connection imaginable. I don’t know if there’s a Jerry Springer’s “closing thoughts”-like lesson here. But if I had to pick something, I guess I’d say that there is no limit to the extremes human beings are capable of. And that the world is a tiny place when you’re a Sex Scandal Deputy.
