Rankin sheriff’s deputy accused of sexually harassing woman keeps job despite years of misconduct allegations
She reported that the deputy touched her, over and over — across her back, on her knee and up her leg. He clasped her hand, lifted her T-shirt sleeve and ran his thumb across the back of her fingers. When she rejected his advances, he assured her they could have sex in “secret,” she wrote in a complaint to his employer, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. Again, she said no. Joanna Karras is convinced few people would believe what Deputy Michael Cody Rayborn did to her last October during her Saturday night shift as a 911 dispatcher at the Florence Police Department if it hadn’t been partially caught by a security camera just above their heads.
