Officer’s Assaults

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A federal court in Alabama ruled in favor of a woman who brought assault and false-arrest claims against a former police officer who had sex with her at least 15 times when she was between 14 and 17 years old, while he was on duty. After their “relationships” ended, according to the ruling, the officer sprayed the girl in the face with pepper spray, poured beer in her car and arrested her for minor-in-possession. The officer has made no attempt to defend himself against the claims.
