## Resource

Former Sedgwick County detective Shawn McMahon is headed to trial after a judge found probable cause on charges of making false statements and interfering with law enforcement—allegations stemming from a damning internal review of his work in the Internet Crimes Against Children unit, where critical cases were improperly closed over five years. With his trial set for August 13th, this case exposes serious failures in accountability and raises urgent questions about oversight in law enforcement.
