A Bothell police officer is accused of having sex with a teenage girl she met four years ago while working at Bothell High School as the resource officer.

Dione Thompson, 45, has been charged with two counts of first degree sexual misconduct with a minor according to court documents. Thompson has been with the department for 17 years and is now a detective, responsible for sex offender notifications.

The documents state that the Thompson had sexual contact with the then 17-year-old girl in a patrol car outside a fast food restaurant, in the parking lot of the Bothell library and in an unmarked Bothell police car in Kenmore, among other locations, mainly in vehicles. The teen, who has since opted to change sex and become a male, moved in with the officer for a period of time, the documents continue.

The victim had felt that it was “all his fault” until he was hired on to an advocacy center and underwent training in abuse. He then realized that Thompson had abused her authority and power when the relationship went sexual at Thompson’s behest.

“[The victim] said that it took a while for him to figure out what it was that [Thompson] did wrong because he knew that the sexual contact was consensual, but he felt like she should not have taken it to that level,” the documents continue. “[The victim] said that he was getting panic attacks about what happened with Dione.”

The victim had then contacted Thompson’s domestic partner, to inform her of what Thompson had done, but not with the intention that it be reported to authorities.

Thompson’s domestic partner was the person who reported the abuses to the authorities.

“[The victim] said that he had no idea that [the domestic partner] was going to report [Thompson] to the police,” charging documents continue. “[The victim] stated that Dione had burned all of his journals and poetry in February 2011 as a way of getting rid of all the evidence of their relationship.”

A total of six alleged incidents, which took place from the summer of 2010 to February 2011, were documented in police statements by the victim.

The case, which was investigated by the King County Sheriff’s Office, is set for arraignment on Feb. 12 at 9 a.m. at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.
