McMullen's position in law enforcement allowed him easy and trusted access to the children and he was able to repeatedly rape the young boys from the time they were only 7-years-old.
The first boy came forward on October 28 to deputies with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office (SRCSO). After the 8-year-old reported McMullen had been touching him "downstairs on his private part" on a frequent basis, an investigation was launched which led to the other boy coming forward.
