NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two detectives from the embattled Millersville Police Department have filed a federal lawsuit against a whistleblower who secretly recorded a child predator sting run by the agency and provided the videos to NewsChannel 5.
The 130-page lawsuit was filed late Monday on behalf of detectives Todd Dorris and Michael Candler against Kim Kelley, the human trafficking activist who recorded the videos and provided them to NewsChannel 5 Investigates. It also names Kelley’s former associate, Phillip Drake, who was not utilized as a source for NewsChannel 5’s investigation.
Claiming defamation, misappropriation of trade secrets and other violations, the complaint accuses Kelley and Drake of “corporate espionage and unfair trade practices.”
“The Defendants intended their smear campaign and false narrative to generate online traffic to their monetized social media accounts and to promoted [sic] themselves, their businesses, and to solicit donations from unsuspecting viewers,” the complaint adds.
Reached for comment, Kelley was adamant that she had done nothing wrong.
