KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A former detective with the Bonner Springs Police Department (BSPD) is facing charges following a misconduct investigation.
Agents with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) executed an arrest warrant on Wednesday for 39-year-old Kyle P. Rector, near Parallel Parkway and Village West Parkway.
Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree held a news conference on Wednesday, announcing formal charges against Rector, including five counts of sexual exploitation of a child, five counts of breach of privacy, five counts of official misconduct, two counts of unlawful acts concerning computers and one count of stalking.
“The majority of these charges occurred while he was employed as a detective with the Bonner Springs Police Department,” Dupree said. “He was placed on administrative leave January 26, 2026.”
The BSPD requested for the KBI to investigate Rector after he was suspected of using department resources to monitor and stalk his spouse while on duty.
The KBI says during the investigation, child sexual abuse material was also discovered.
He was booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center and has since been released on a $150,000 bond, according to jail records.
“The penalty range is life imprisonment with a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment not being less than 25 years,” Dupree said. “Likewise, he can be fined up to $500,000.”
The investigation is ongoing.
