The California police department at the center of the Netflix series “American Nightmare” has been criticized on social media for their questionable treatment of a woman who was kidnapped and raped.
The Vallejo Police Department and the detectives in charge of the Denise Huskins kidnapping case have come under fire after the documentary portrayed them as sloppy cops who were more concerned with blaming the victim than solving the crime.
“How does it feel to be publicly humiliated and humiliated?” asked a commenter from Alabama.
“It’s not fun when the shoes are on one foot, right? A serial rapist shows more sympathy for the victim than your police department. Let that sink in.”
The series follows Huskins and her then-boyfriend Aaron Quinn.
On March 23, 2015, Huskins and Quinn were blindfolded and drugged by a man who broke into Quinn’s home.
Huskins was then kidnapped and taken to a cabin in Lake Tahoe where she was raped.

In police and FBI footage obtained by Netflix, Detective Mat Mustard mercilessly grills Quinn in an interrogation room. Meanwhile, Huskins is stuffed into a trunk by a sociopath and taken to Lake Tahoe.
Mustard, who was incredulously named Officer of the Year, neglected to even check Quinn’s phone, which the kidnapper had pinged.
Online commenters were most shocked by Mustard’s comments to Huskins’ mother, Jane Remmele, after she informed him that her daughter had previously been the victim of sexual assault.

Mustard told her that women who had been abused would often fake another attack “to relive the thrill.”
“Officer of the year?” a Massachusetts woman posted. “May you be stripped of this and any titles in the coming months. May your family survive you and you live the rest of your life in misery and loneliness. Hopefully detective Mustard never has a daughter who is the victim of sexual assault because we all know she will have to suffer in silence.”
Eventually, Matthew Muller, a Harvard-educated lawyer and ex-military man, was arrested and sent to prison for the crime after an officer in Lake Tahoe found a strand of Huskins’ hair on a pair of closed-toe glasses in his cabin.
Huskins and Quinn later settled a lawsuit against the city of Vallejo for $2.5 million. Mike Jory/The Times-Herald via AP, File Matthew Muller was arrested and convicted of the crime. Courtesy of Netflix

The Vallejo Police Department’s Yelp page has been disabled due to “unusual activity”.
A Change.org petition calling for Mustard’s resignation has garnered 2,700 signatures.
