CECIL COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — Cecil County Sheriff’s Office employees, allegedly caught on tape making sexually graphic and lewd comments about a former county official, are still on the job — and the official feels unsafe.
Although Danielle Robinson, formerly Hornberger, has called for the men to be removed from duty during a state police investigation into the 2023 recording in which they discussed sexually “brutalizing her,” the sheriff’s office has so far declined to do so.
The Baltimore Sun broke the story of the recording Feb. 4. As of Feb. 13, three of those identified on the recording remain on active duty, even though state law allows the office to suspend them before the investigation is complete. According to local paper the Cecil Whig, the fourth individual retired before the audio came to light.
“I’m very uncomfortable with these guys having the power of the badge, their guns and their police vehicles,” said Robinson, who served as county executive from 2020 – 2024. “The police are supposed to protect us from individuals who make threats of sexual violence. Not protect the ones who made the threats and allow them to have guns and authority.
