Tennessee Rape
Our Tennessee attorneys understand that being accused of rape can have long-term implications. In the experience of our Tennessee attorneys, a charge of rape can be devestating. Such a charge can adversely affect one's social, economic, and spiritual well-being. Over the weekend, a highly public accusation of rape occurred in Memphis.
A party guest claims she was raped at a weekend pool party, leaving two rookie Bartlett cops fired, one on administrative leave, and a Collierville firefighter charged with sexual battery and rape.
The incident allegedly occurred Sunday, after a Saturday night pool party in the Deermont Park area at the home of Brandon and Carey Faulkner. A guest was escorted home Sunday, when she alleges Brandon Faulkner raped her in her bedroom.
According to Bartlett Police reports, Brandon, a Collierville firefighter, has been charged with assault, sexual battery and rape. His wife, Carey, is a 10-year Bartlett Police officer, and has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
Two other probationary Bartlett officers present at the party were fired due to 'behavior unbecoming to an officer.'
The incident is being investigated by Bartlett Internal Affairs.
Brandon Faulkner is set to attend a bond hearing Wednesday morning at Bartlett Municipal Court.
