Neil David Kimball (DOB 6/13/73), of Agoura, CA, was sentenced to the maximum term of three years in state prison for committing a lewd act on a 15-year-old child and unlawful sexual intercourse.
Kimball, while serving as a detective with the Special Victim’s Unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, met the 15-year-old victim in 2017 when she reported being a victim of sexual assault in Los Angeles County. While investigating that case, Kimball befriended the victim and sexually assaulted her.
In addition to the term in state prison, Kimball was ordered to register as a sexual offender, pay the victim $50,000 for her pain and suffering and have no contact with the victim. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and prosecuted by the Ventura County District Attorney’s Sexual Assault and Family Protection Unit.
