Dupree said Rector is facing charges of stalking, five counts of breach of privacy, five counts of sexual exploitation of a child, two counts of unlawful acts concerning computers and five counts of official misconduct.
"Concerning the charges here, we intend on doing everything that we can to make sure that justice is done and that crime, that happens in uniform and/or out of uniform, that those individuals are held accountable," Dupree said during the news conference Wednesday.
Following his arrest on Wednesday, Rector was booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center.
