Post: HELP!! Government employee in real bind

Posted by Fed. Up on 11/22/07
I am a federal government employee and I work in the Social Security Adm. I was working in the front end, interviewing the public roughly 3 months back. A man came in and recognized my supervisor from jail. I thought nothing of it because it seemed so highly improbable. My supervisor was a polished, educated and articulate man. It just seemed too unlikely, I thought it was an obvious case of mistaken identity. So I let it pass for the moment. Most people little if any understanding about the Social Security Administration. The volume in a field office is borderline ridicules. However we not only attempt to handle everything with the highest levels of security and integrity we truly succeed. I take the security and integrity of my duties to heart and I truly believe in what I do. Let me give you a little back ground on myself. I am a college educated, ex-military, christian, spotless record employee with 5 years as a Service Representative with SSA. Part of my responsibilities at SSA include handling prisoners, payee accounting's, fraud referrals to OIG, the Office of the Inspector General and all other SSA business. I personally handle prisoners. Each recipient that gets locked up is reported to SSA by law enforcement and I research each individual prison to stop or continue benefits. The point being I know how to successfully research court cases. I also lead my office in all fraud referrals to OIG. So I take fraud and crimes against our government very seriously, maybe the most seriously of all f my duties. Sorry about the tangents but I believe them to be necessary to complete my points. I let a few weeks pass by before I kept thinking about what that guy told me about my supervisor. I thought about being swore in to uphold and carry out these duties no matter what the situation. I began to research the case. I went through our county clerk of courts site to see if I got any hits. I saw a case from 1995 regarding a voyeurism charge but I could not get to the facts due to security reasons. I went down to the courthouse on my lunch hours, over the course of days. Reading through the voyeurism case I learned of another case from 1974. the reference in teh 1995 case claimed it was a sexual crime of violence against women. I began to research that case back. Upon the completion of my research I discovered that my Supervisor at the Social Security Administration, the "Gate Keepers" of the federal government, was a convicted kidnapper, rapist and armed robber who spent 9 1/2 years in a penitentiary. He was educated in prison and received his Bachelors degree from a state university. The facts in the case described some of the most unspeakable acts of violence against women that I have ever heard of before. It was a week long spree of raping multiple women at knife point in homes and motel rooms, he then robbed them, as if their lives weren't ruined enough. He was tried and convicted in 7 out of 9 counts against 5 different women. I work with the disabled and the weak in society. I see first hand how rape ruins a woman. Drug addiction, depression, panic disorders and various other psychological/emotional problems. I have family and friends who have had that horror in their lives. I went to our 2 OIG agents with my information. They were as shocked and stunned as I was over the whole thing. I printed out various facts in the cases to prove my claim. After waiting quietly for nearly 2 months, I went to them for an update on how mycase was progressing. I was told that headquarters with OIG went through the information and came back with there is little if anything that we can do. I thought that I needed to get this into other, more interested hands. I caught my Area Director in our building for a seminar and I requested that she contact me before she left. To my surprise, at the end of that day. I was asked to go back into our District Managers' office. I then proceeded to fill them in on what I knew and how I came upon the information. I was almost floored when my Disrict Manager told me that they knew all about his troubled past. I could not believe that they not only knew but hired him anyway. he has been there 6 years and was promoted a year ago. We now have a covicted serial rapist who spent 9 years in prison working in one of the most secure places in the country. He is in charge of the unit that issues Social Security numbers, money and accounting issues and Congressional cases in our office. He knows that I know and he is still my supervisor. I am working uder the most hostile conditions imaginable. I requested a transfer and was promised one by my Area Director. That fell through. I am literally stuck! it appears that he is there legally although it doesnt seem possible to me. This is just a thumb nail sketch of my predicimament. Please guide me. Does anyone know how I should contact or where I can turn? you cannot imagine how hard it is to go in to work every day. This seems like national news to me. A covicted rapist witin the management of the Social Security Adinistration. Help me please. I will consider any and all advise you may have for me. Thank you for reading my long post and I am sorry it went on so long. I just wanted you all to know how all of this transpired. Thanks again. Keep in mind that I need to get out of there. I cannot work for someone whom I will never respect. The whole thing angers and confuses me.
