## Resource

A senior detective, John Paul Daniel McDonnell, faces sixteen serious charges including stalking, assault, hacking, and misconduct in public office—allegedly abusing his power by accessing intimate images and filing a fake Crime Stoppers report. Witnesses claim he even pulled out a firearm during an incident, and the case has sparked alarm across Queensland Police over potential erosion of public trust. Investigators are now reviewing every case he handled, fearing more victims may come forward. The court case remains ongoing, with a future hearing scheduled.
