Police: Officer that killed his family, and himself, drugged and raped his wife

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah police officer who killed his wife, their two children, his mother-in-law and then himself received text messages from his wife just hours earlier threatening to leave him and take their kids and confronting him for raping her, new documents show.

A Spanish Fork Police report shows Joshua Boren and his wife exchanged heated texts the night and morning before the January killings.

In them, Kelly Boren confronted her husband about raping her and told him their marriage was over, The Deseret News reported. The couple already had been separated for some time.

Joshua Boren's therapist told authorities that Boren drugged his wife and videotaped himself sexually assaulting her on more than one occasion.

Kelly Boren learned of the assaults when she discovered the tapes in 2013, said Spanish Fork Police Lt. Matt Johnson. She told a few friends, but she did not report the assaults to police because she didn't want to ruin her husband's law enforcement career, the report says.

The night before she was killed, Kelly Boren brought up the alleged sexual assault again, texting the word "rape" to her husband four times, the documents show. "I hate my life because (of) you," she texted. "You killed a part of me."

Im trying to figure out how the HELL this guy passed the psych exams for his law enforcement job? Read his history... He was sexually abused as a child. He's struggled with various addictions his whole life. His father committed suicide. And he had a deep-seeded hatred of his mother who he blames for not protecting him from the sexual abuse.

His therapist says he was a "3-year-old boy stuck in a big man's body."

Yet he's fit to be a police officer?

They are not looking for a few good men you know. They are looking for people willing to keep order. And nowadays that means beat the living shit out of anyone who steps out of line.

have backgrounds similar to his. They want justice for what was done to them and others who were abused, but when a situation sets off their anger they become the aggressor they wanted to punish when they were helpless. It's not healthy for anyone to cross their paths because they have hair trigger tempers.
