Prosecutors had urged the judge to keep Golubski, who was indicted last week on charges of violating two women's civil rights when he allegedly assaulted them more than two decades ago, in detention until trial.
A federal magistrate judge in Topeka released former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective Roger Golubski to home detention Monday, finding that prosecutors had not met their burden that he represents a danger to the community.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Rachel E. Schwartz made the finding even as she acknowledged that the indictment of Golubski contained “allegations of reprehensible conduct.”
"The underlying facts (of the case) are, quite frankly, shocking," she said.
Schwartz said Golubski’s poor health conditions — including Type 1 diabetes and renal failure — meant that he could no longer threaten or harass the women he’s accused of assaulting and raping.

..."Lemon, his attorney, argued that in addition to his health issues, Golubski did not attempt to flee Wyandotte County, where he has lived his entire life, after egregious allegations surfaced against him in 2016 in McIntyre’s case.
After the hearing, Niko Quinn called Golubski “an animal” and said the then-officer stalked her from 1994 to 2010. Golubski, she said, also threatened to take away her children if she did not wrongly testify against McIntyre during his case.
“My life has been ruined,” Quinn told reporters.
Janice Witt, of Kansas City, Kansas, said one of her late relatives was a Golubski victim. She did not want to see him released.
“These woman have been complaining for years, my entire life,” she said, later adding: “All of those women, who were complaining, including my cousin, who were saying, ‘the police are raping me, the police are raping me,’ were ignored.”
Federal authorities continue to investigate other possible crimes committed by Golubski. His next court appearance, a status conference, is set for Oct. 12."

I don't get it. She says the state didn't prove he was a threat to the community but then says, "The underlying facts (of the case) are, quite frankly, shocking," she said. The recidivism rate among these type of violators is high.
