"'Sometimes these kinds of things occur in big departments like (the Maricopa sheriff's office),' Arpaio said during a press conference today, as tweeted by Arizona Republic reporter Yvonne Wingett Sanchez just now. 'If there were any victims, I apologize.'"

That is not an apology. If the continuing investigation doesn't reveal that the ignoring of sexual assault and child sexual abuse cases was policy, I'll be very surprised.

"In truth, reports on Arpaio's extraordinary incompetence and oversight on sexual abuse cases have been well-documented for months -- an ABC15 investigation earlier in the spring noted that "children who had the courage to come forward and say they were molested, raped or abused were simply ignored by Maricopa County Sheriff's Office detectives."
