EMPLOYEE RESIGNS AFTER INVESTIGATION REVEALS ALLEGED EXTORTION OF SEXUAL FAVOR FROM A PASSENGER

An assistant passenger conductor based in Kansas City, Missouri, resigned from his position on June 23, 2025, as a result of our investigation. We found that he violated company policies by engaging in a sex act with a passenger while in the performance of his official duties—as the train was in operation. He allegedly extorted the passenger for a sexual favor. During an interview, the former employee admitted to receiving oral sex from the passenger but claimed that it was consensual. He also admitted that he previously engaged in sexual activity with other passengers on three or four other occasions. The former employee is not eligible for rehire.
