Franklin County Police Officer
Attorney General Jon Bruning announced today Franklin County Police Officer Matthew Bower entered a plea of no contest yesterday to one count of second degree sexual abuse of an inmate and to one count of official misconduct.
“When those who are supposed to protect the public abuse their power, it erodes public confidence in law enforcement,” Bruning said. “Mr. Bower is now going to have to pay for his crimes.”
According to the Nebraska State Patrol investigation, Bower removed Callie L. Shearer, a Franklin County jail inmate, from custody on approximately seventeen different occasions. Sexual contact between the two occurred on at least one occasion while she was in his custody.
Second degree sexual abuse of an inmate is a class IV felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Official misconduct is a class II misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.
The sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 15 at 1:00 p.m. in the Franklin County Court. Assistant Attorney General Corey O’Brien is handling the case.
