Remember this from last month:
If You Could Be Pulled Over and Raped Roadside By Cops at Any Time, Would It Change Your Commute?
Well...
Those were cases of groping and other forms of assault. Now... its getting worse:
Texas Cop Accused of Raping 19-Year-Old During Routine Traffic Stop
A San Antonio police officer was arrested this past weekend for allegedly sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman during what should have been a routine traffic stop
. . .
Neal asked the woman to get out of the vehicle so he could pat her down, according to the affidavit. The woman said she felt uncomfortable and asked that a female officer pat her down, but her request was ignored. During the pat-down, the affidavit said, Neal groped the woman, placed her in handcuffs and moved her to the back of his patrol car. The document said he then raped her and instructed her not to tell anyone.
And its not the first time for this officer either... But the last time, the victim refused to testify...
Making the case even more troubling is that Neal was far from a model cop, and this isn't his first brush with the law. According to police, the 11-year veteran faced a "similar" allegation a few years ago from a different woman. In that case, however, authorities were forced to drop the case after the alleged victim ultimately refused to testify.
...so they put the guy back on duty...
Seriously?
And he's already had questionable conduct outside of these two incidents:
Separately, Neal was also officially disciplined for violating department policy when he dated an 18-year-old member of the department's Police Explorer program, an effort to introduce young people to law enforcement careers. It was soon after that incident, police say, that Neal was transferred to a night shift.
So... got a bad guy on the force... put him on the night shift were he can more easily stalk victims unnoticed...
