Sacked Cop Jordan Lloyd Koch Released after Child Sex Abuse Conviction Overturned

Hot on the heels of the extremely suspicious acquittal of violent SAPOL goon Aiden Allt comes the news that convicted SAPOL rapist Jordan Lloyd Koch has just been handed a get out of jail card.

After the lifting of a suppression order, it was revealed in August that Koch, 37, of Springton, had been convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl.

Koch, a SAPOL detective, met the the young teen while managing his friend’s pizza shop. The teenager was working at the shop for her first job.

The court heard Koch spent months grooming her before raping her in his car.

Koch maintained his innocence, but Judge Liesl Kudelka said his evidence “lacks credibility” and sounded “scripted and rehearsed”.

Koch, a married father of four, sent his victim a series of creepy, sleazy texts, then told her to delete the Snapchat messages.

Judge Kudelka found Koch guilty of one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a person under 17 years and two counts of indecent assault.

Yesterday came the shocking news that Koch has been released from prison after a court overturned his child sex abuse conviction and ordered a retrial.

Chief Justice Chris Kourakis, Justice Chris Bleby and Justice Sophie David agreed with Koch’s claim he had suffered “a miscarriage of justice” due to “inadequate, unsound or unfair reasoning” in his judge-alone trial.

Just where Judge Kudelka allegedly faltered cannot be revealed, due to statutory suppression orders preventing the media from publishing the Court of Appeal’s reasoning.

Chief Justice Kourakis remanded Koch to live at Jervois under his previous bail agreement – which bans him from contacting or approaching the alleged victim and her family – and remanded him to face the District Court next year.
