Polygraph Scam Exposed: Former Law Enforcement Officer Accused of Training Customers to Lie
A shocking indictment has been unsealed in the Western District of Oklahoma, revealing a former law enforcement officer turned polygraph scam artist. Douglas Williams, 69, of Norman, Oklahoma, has been charged with mail fraud and obstruction for allegedly training customers to lie during federally administered polygraph examinations.
According to the indictment, Williams, the owner and operator of “Polygraph.com,” marketed his training services to individuals facing polygraph examinations before federal law enforcement agencies, federal intelligence agencies, and state and local law enforcement agencies. His clients included those required to take polygraph examinations under the terms of their parole or probation.
The indictment alleges that Williams trained at least two individuals to lie and conceal crimes. One individual was posing as a federal law enforcement officer under investigation, while the other was an applicant seeking federal employment. Williams allegedly instructed both individuals to deny having received his polygraph training, despite being paid for the sessions.
The charges against Williams are part of a larger investigation led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Internal Affairs and the FBI’s Oklahoma City Field Office. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Mark Angehr and Brian K. Kidd of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section.
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Criminal Division, Acting Assistant Commissioner Mark Morgan of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Internal Affairs, and Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch of the FBI’s Oklahoma City Field Office made the announcement.
The indictment serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of corruption and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether Williams will be held liable for his alleged crimes.
The charges contained in an indictment are merely accusations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
