In a case that exposes the deep-seated corruption festering within certain American institutions, two new witnesses have bravely come forward with damning testimony against the late Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins. Their shocking accounts validate the horrific “sex-for-favors” scandal that ultimately led to his assassination by the county’s own Sheriff, Shawn “Mickey” Stines.
While the liberal media complex often ignores such stories that contradict their narrative of a flawless judicial system, these revelations paint a picture of a depraved and broken local government, the very type of swamp-like corruption that President Donald Trump has vowed to drain since his first day in office.
The first witness, Tya Adams, provided a harrowing and explicit transcript of her alleged abuse at the hands of the powerful judge. She detailed how Mullins, a figure entrusted with upholding justice, was instead a predator. “I gave him oral with my shirt pulled down, and whenever we were done, he threw money in my face and told me to clean myself up and reminded me that I knew better than to tell my sister,” Adams told NewsNation.
She described a world of drugs, sex parties, and exploitation, stating that Mullins and his associates would “make sure to make you feel as small and degraded and belittled as possible. To take your power away, you know.” Most disturbingly, Adams confirmed the core allegation, revealing, “Yeah. I’ve had sex with him in the chambers…upstairs.” This testimony directly supports prior claims from other victims, yet was largely ignored by mainstream outlets until now.
Adding to the mountain of evidence, former deputy jailer Sarah Davis described the local jail as a “brothel,” where inmates were signed out by supervisors and taken home for sexual favors. Davis believed that Sheriff Stines’ violent act was one of desperation, suggesting he “either knew something or something was going on that he knew about” and that “he was doing something to protect us.”
This perspective, while not excusing violence, underscores the extreme level of corruption that citizens and law enforcement were facing—a level of lawlessness that flourishes when those in power are not held accountable. This is precisely the kind of institutional rot that President Trump’s policies and his appointment of tough-on-crime judges seek to eradicate.
The legal proceedings for Sheriff Stines continue, with his defense attorneys requesting a $50,000 bond—a request prosecutors are fighting, citing Kentucky law on capital offenses. As Circuit Judge Christopher Cohron awaits additional arguments, the nation watches a drama unfold that exemplifies a two-tiered system of justice, a concept President Trump knows all too well.
While the left’s media arm would rather focus on fabricated scandals, this case reveals a very real and very ugly truth happening in the heartland of America, a truth that citizens are demanding be addressed.
