LAS VEGAS (KLAS) � A judge said a criminal case against a Las Vegas Metro police sergeant should move forward.

Clark County District Court Judge Ron Israel denied a motion to stay, or temporarily halt criminal proceedings, in the case against Kevin Menon
Monday.

Menon, 43, is charged with 13 counts, including three felonies and 10
gross misdemeanors, in his first case. Prosecutors said he abused his
power as a police sergeant by creating fake scenarios that resulted in citizens, mainly Black men, being detained on the Las Vegas Strip.

Menon is charged with an additional 33 counts, including five felonies and
28 gross misdemeanors after police said they found child sexual abuse
material on his electronic devices and cameras installed in Menon�s
private bathroom. Prosecutors allege Menon used the cameras to watch two
family members use the toilet without their knowledge.

Las Vegas police sergeant�s bail raised to $1 million
�I see no reason for a stay to prolong what has already been almost a year since the first case was filed,� Israel said. �So I�m denying the stay.�

Menon�s legal team had argued for Israel to be removed from overseeing his criminal cases, in part due to allegations of abuse from his adult
daughter.

Clark County District Court Judge Mark Denton ruled against Menon�s
request.

�The Court cannot find the defendant has met his burden to establish
actual or implied bias or lack of impartiality warranting disqualification
of Judge Israel,� Denton wrote in his order.

Menon�s legal team asked the Nevada Supreme Court to disqualify Israel on
May 14.

His attorneys alleged �implied bias� from Israel, asked Nevada�s high
court to command Denton to order the disqualification of Israel, and
questioned why there was no police investigation into Israel�s daughter�s claims in a petition for writ of mandamus.

A jury trial is scheduled for Aug. 18.

Menon has claimed in court documents he tried to expose racism within the police department and he is being retaliated against.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
