NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails.

It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

These are among 62 current and former officers the department itself decided couldn’t be trusted…cops so compromised that the department believes their involvement in cases could jeopardize prosecutions.

Some stayed on the job for years. Some were promoted

Another officer posted a photo of a suicide on Facebook.

Another was arrested for pushing a police horse while off duty.

The list goes on and on..

Gregg Dorsett once threw a shoe at a moving car, shattering its mirror and injuring the driver.

He was fired, then quietly reinstated.

Years later, his name appeared on a leaked Oath Keepers list.

Today, he’s a captain at KCKPD.
