Just doin’ his job

The wife of a Texas police officer suspended for having sex in a prostitution sting says it was all part of the job.

Tracy Breiner said her husband was just following orders when he had intercourse with a woman while investigating two spas for reports of prostitution, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.

Officer Keith Breiner maintains that the Beaumont Police Department asked him on April 1 to perform sex acts as part of the undercover investigation. He also says that every time he engaged in sexual activity in the investigation he documented in reports and received no objection from the department, the Beaumont Enterprise reported.

The spas were raided on May 7 and Internal Affairs began investigation into the sting operation about a week later. Breiner and Lt. David Kiker were later suspended without pay indefinitely on July 21 for engaging sexual activity during the investigation, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.

Lt. Curtis Breaux and Sgt. Robert Roberts were both suspended without pay for five days for failing to oversee the investigation properly and failure to notify department heads of the case, the paper reported.

Breiner was in court Tuesday seeking an injunction to prevent the city of Beaumont from suspending him while he disputes his disciplinary action; the city was attempting to stop that injunction, the Beaumont Enterprise reported.

WHAT?????

April Fool’s!  You’re suspended.

Now, when I actually hear this from the officer instead of the wife I might be a little more inclined to believe it.

Umm…I thought that engaging in sex acts negated your testimony…b/c you were committing a CRIME.  Which is why cops can’t have sex with prostitutes.  They’ve got to get them to suggest a payment for sexual services.

If you ask me, this is probably just something he told his wife.

“It’s my job honey! I have to, I don’t like it at all”

I have a solution:  transfer the guy to narcotics sting operations.  He’ll be a whacked-out junky in no time.

(Don’t let him go undercover with organized crime, though.  He’ll think committing murder is just part of the job.)

Well Played Joe.

And for a word from the busted Prostitute, she says she was really “dating” the officer!

Woman says “boyfriend” busted her in sex raid; cop says “you’ve got to be kidding”

HOUSTON - After an abusive marriage and tragic life in China, SuJun Han believed she had found some hope in Beaumont: a good-paying job and a businessman boyfriend.

The job got her busted and the “boyfriend” turned out to be a cop.

“I’m at the lowest point in my life,” said Han in an interview with The Enterprise last week in Houston. Han was charged with prostitution in May when police raided her VIP Spa in Beaumont.

The 45-year-old China native says she was operating a legitimate business, and the only sexual contact she had was with two men who turned out to be Beaumont officers - and her passionate intercourse with one of them was for love.

Han says the raid three months ago on her VIP Spa added more dark punctuation to a life peppered with abuse from men, including at the hands of a husband who forced her to give away her firstborn daughter.

The undercover operation and sting closed the spa but opened an ugly chapter for Beaumont police, with two officers tossed, disciplinary action against other policemen and a re-evaluation of department procedures.

Han last month pleaded no contest to two counts of misdemeanor prostitution and received 18 months’ probation.

Han, speaking through a Chinese interpreter, Zen Zheng, a Houston Chronicle reporter, said that the VIP Spa on Calder Avenue was not a sexually oriented business. It was set up, she said, to raise money to realize her life’s dream - to open a restaurant.

She also claims she “fell in love” with Beaumont officer Keith Breiner, who, along with officer David Kiker, was suspended without pay after the two reportedly engaged in sex acts as part of the investigation into the VIP and Sun Spa businesses.

In an effort to avoid termination, the two have entered an appeals process. Breiner, who has filed an injunction against his suspension, has said he was doing what he was told.

But Police Chief Frank Coffin vigorously disputed that claim in documents filed with the City Clerk’s Office late Friday. The documents are part of the Department’s investigation into the officers’ actions.

“Beaumont Police Department officers are expected to uphold high moral and ethical standards,” the documents stated. “It should go without saying that Beaumont Police Department employees are not supposed to or are expected to have sex with prostitutes as part of any operation, including an undercover prostitution sting. Your conduct was unnecessary and reflected poorly upon this department.”

When asked whether he believed Han’s interest in him was romantic, Breiner in a telephone interview Thursday quickly dismissed the idea.

“You’ve got to be kidding,” he said of Han’s claims of falling in love.

The lawman said audio of the meetings paints a different story, but because it is part of evidence into the spa investigation, it can’t be made public yet

Uh-Huh. This is one of the reasons cops aren’t supposed to actually break the law!
