Eugene police detective quits amid affairs accusations

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A police detective in Eugene has agreed to quit to avoid potential criminal prosecution amid accusations of extramarital affairs.

The Register-Guard reports (http://bit.ly/2mqFLPP) documents released Tuesday show Lane County prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges against Eugene Det. Ted Williams as long he resigned and agreed to never work again in law enforcement.

The separation agreement was finalized in February.

Williams is accused of using a department-issued vehicle to visit a woman on nights he was called out to investigate crimes. The woman reported their extramarital relationship in June.

The former detective is also accused of having a sexual relationship with another woman whose husband is charged in a child sex case as a result of an investigation he led.

Williams says his investigation was complete before any relationship with the suspect’s wife.
