They're launching the stunning 7 figures against Target for negligence, false arrest and intentional infliction of emotional distress that led to his sudden death On July 24, 2018, he was accused by an employee at Target of having child abuse or child porn on his cell phone and it sparked an FBI investigation where he was arrested in front of neighbors and his electronics were seized Several months following the probe, the insurance salesman who lived by himself and had a teen daughter in California died of a heart attack Now his family is suing Target on behalf of his estate, suspecting that the stress of being investigated as a child molester and handcuffed and interrogation led to his death In July, he went to Target asking for help on freeing up storage on his IPhone 6 as the employee claimed he found explicit images and provided shocking detail and naked and bound children on his device He said he found a folder that had more than 1000 pics and he viewed 15 to 20 of it and described in nature of what he saw were naked girls who appear 10 or younger of different ethnicities as it was some "sadomaschistic abuse" and claimed he saw Buckmeyer AROUSED in them He alerted security who then took down Buckmeyer's license plate number and reported it to police A month later Buckmeyer was arrested and his neighbors were told of the allegations against him and was restricted in how much time he had with his daughter Despite 4 months of investigation, the FBI DIDN'T find any child porn or proof he abused children His lawyer,Graham Fisher said "Not a shred of evidence" He was never charged and the case was dropped following 120 days of court granted permission to seize his electronics Buckmeyer had no criminal history and only had driving infractions as Michael Fuller, a civil attorney said Buckmeyer was a "straight shooter" It doesn't say why the employee made the allegations as the lawsuit claims that employee inteded to inflict severe and emotional distress Target hasn't identified that employee and they are STILL employed there!!

Shouldn't sue Target.
Should definitely sue the employee. And the fact that he's still there is both disgusting and not at all surprising. :-/ --- PSN ID: Aristoph http://www.youtube.com/user/SotCRules ... Copied to Clipboard!

If the guy wasn't smart enough to free up space in his phone, he's not going to be smart enough to keep the FBI from finding child porn on his electronics, sounds like the kid at Target was making it up, or got the wrong guy, because making something up like this is going to bring all kinds of authority down on everyone, meh.

Yeah, they are definitely on the hook for this. At the very least, they'll settle out of court. Isn't weird how all it takes for government to investigate and seize your property, is to have a stranger accuse you of wrongdoing? One would think the bar would be a little higher.

Whenever I help someone with their phone (not @ Target) and come across nudity I right away hand it back, the person becomes embarrassed & apologizes, and I wont ask any questions. Then theyll edit their gallery for anything they dont want popping up or send their selected photos through the internet to be printed/backed up.
I would never scroll through to search for more nude photos or even look at one long enough to make any determinations about the person in the photo. I think I saw nudity/genitals, Im not gonna double check, heres your ****ing phone back. Whatever is on a customers phone is none of my business and Im not going to involve myself & potentially ruin someones life or lose my job over any suspicions I may have. --- Sig User Logic https://imgur.com/lA5fm7w ...

No evidence doesnt mean the employee lied necessarily. The police could have been incompetent. How are you going to prove in court that the employee lied? You cant.
And what 43yo guy needs help deleting stuff off an iPhone? And who the fuck goes to Target for technical help? Does Target even do that? This definitely sounds like a guy dumb enough to have child porn. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

The thing I cant shake out is how damn specific the clerk was. Really fucking specific about what they saw. If they were full of shit, why bother with all the additional details? Not just underage, but bound. Also mentioning the different ethnicities seems oddly specific, and the cherry on top is to include that the guy was in them and aroused. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Target should absolutely be sued, they are responsible for their employees actions. If they did find child porn on his phone why would they give it back?? Target should have notified the police right then and there. To me it sounds like the employee is full of shit.

Fuck, I worked for the company that employee is in(it wasn't target). I heard about these fucking accusations, it was a big story in my company at the time. While I don't know explicitly who it was I'm pretty sure I've met that employee.
The company is called marketsource, they're a third party company target hired to handle their phone service and sales. Might make. This an interesting lawsuit as I don't know how culpability will work for Target as they acted appropriately based on the claims. I saw some fucked shit working there (a guy with dozens of tabs of escort services open comes to mind) but never that. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Target should have notified the police right then and there. To me it sounds like the employee is full of shit. The reason they don't do that is it means putting the employee in the position of acting as enforcement, something that isn't just against their policy but damn near every major retail company's policy, because it leaves them open to major litigation if the employee is injured during. This is why they'll straight up fire you for resisting a robbery or stopping a shoplifting. Unfortunately for the family, I think they have a slim chance to win this if Target doesn't settle, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do to avoid bad press. Unless Target had reason to believe the employee was lying, such as a poor history or contradictory story, especially considering the third party nature, it'll be hard to find fault with how they handled it. ...
