Campus officer gives up badge
A former Phoenix school resource officer who resigned in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct with a teen boy gave up his badge earlier this month though he was never charged.
Bill F. Dickenson III, who served as officer at R.E. Simpson School in central Phoenix for 10 years, voluntarily forfeited his Arizona police certification after the mother of a 14-year-old boy triggered a police probe.
The Maricopa County Attorney's Office reviewed the case twice and but passed on charging Dickenson because of lack of evidence, spokesman Barnett Lotstein said.
The boy described five separate incidents in 2006 where he engaged in “oral sexual contact” with Dickenson at three separate locations over a nine-month period, investigative records show.
The family told police they befriended Dickenson through R.E. Simpson when the boy was a middle school student.
Dickenson, 50, moved to Jacksonville, Fla. and enlisted as a sports agent after his April resignation. In his online bio, Dickenson cites his dedication to, “developing and educating young men and women” through sports.
In his time as a school officer, Dickenson was credited with running after-school programs and building a rapport with the community.
