According to the research, which can be found

 

officers in the U.S. were charged with forcible rape 405 times between 2005 and 2013. That's an average of 45 a year. There were 636 instances of forcible fondling.

 

Experts say the statistics on sexual assaults by police are almost nonexistent.

 

"It's just not available at all," said Jonathan Blanks, a research associate with the Cato Institute's Project on Criminal Justice. "You can only crowdsource this info."

 

BSGU researchers gathered their list by documenting cases of sworn nonfederal law enforcement officers who have been arrested, according to WTVF. However, the federally funded 2016 paper, "

 

Police Integrity Lost: A Study of Law Enforcement Officers Arrested

," claims the problem isn't limited to sexual assault.

 

"There are no comprehensive statistics available on problems with police integrity," the report says, and no government entity collects data on police who are arrested.

 

It adds, "Police sexual misconduct and cases of police sexual violence are often referred to as hidden offenses, and studies on police sexual misconduct are usually based on small samples or derived from officer surveys that are threatened by a reluctance to reveal these cases."

 

Researchers typically rely on published media reports. Numbers gathered by BGSU are the result of Google alerts on 48 search terms entered by researchers.

 

The reports of police assault are lacking for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest is the victims' reluctance to report the crime.

 

"Who do you call when your rapist or offender is a police officer? What a scary situation that must be," said Philip Stinson, an associate professor of criminal justice who served as principal investigator for the police integrity paper and whose research assistants maintain the BGSU database.

But from there her predicament only worsened: The military took over the case from civilian criminal court a week before trial was set to begin, and one of her former special victims counsels, her advocate in the military legal system, was ordered to testify against her about a witness Scanlon didn't disclose until late in the court martial process.

ST. LOUIS — Two St. Louis police officers were charged Wednesday morning with forcible rape, among other sexual assault allegations dating to 2009 and are being held without bond.

 

Lafeal Lawshea, who has been with the department since 2008, is charged with forcible sodomy, forcible rape and accessory to forcible rape occurring in 2009 and 2010. Lawshea also faces charges of sexual misconduct in 2019 and tampering or attempting to tamper with a victim in March 2020.

 

Torey Phelps has been employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department since 2007 and is charged with forcible rape in 2010.

 

Court documents describe the officers working together during the assaults.

 

The probable cause statement for Phelps states that Lawshea served the victim an "unusually strong" drink, and that the victim next remembered waking up during the assault by Phelps at Lawshea's home. The victim told investigators that they asked Lawshea "if he was just going to let [Phelps] do this to her."

 

The probable cause statement against Lawshea includes allegations that the officer served strong or drug-laced drinks to victims before taking them to his home and assaulting them while they were incapacitated.

2019 - Just some insignificant old news, right?

 

According to the grand jury indictment, three victims who are female officers were punished by internal affairs for reporting Inspector Holmes. The women are no longer on the force.

 

In August, former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross resigned, amid allegations that members of the department engaged in sexual harassment and racial and gender discrimination against two women serving in the ranks.

 

Complaints and even lawsuits had been filed against Holmes for years. But the grand jury found that Holmes was largely protected from any real investigation while the victims faced retaliation in the form of internal affairs investigations.

 

District Attorney Larry Krasner, who is attending a conference at Yale, spoke to us by phone.

 

"I think the record of some of my predecessors in the DA's office for being more concerned about politics and the protection of their friends in the police department rather than being concerned about equality and accountability in the police department," Krasner said.
