ABC News
At a traffic stop? That's pretty darned brazen. If he had stopped her in a police cruiser, one hopes there is camera footage from the cruiser relevant to this particular traffic stop.
It seems to me that police might occasionally be accused of sexual misconduct by suspects, and that - similar to the case of a weapon discharge - an officer will be placed on leave while such a complaint/incident is investigated. But this officer was actually arrested according to the article. I don't know enough about relevant police procedure to decide if that means there's more evidence against him than just the victim's statement.

A San Antonio, Texas, police officer who was arrested for allegedly raping a 19-year-old woman he pulled over for a traffic stop was placed on administrative leave, police told ABC News. "This conduct is unthinkable and I'm absolutely outraged," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said in a statement. "Once we became aware of the allegation, we took prompt action." Neal, an 11-year veteran of the police force, allegedly stopped the victim Friday morning, searched her vehicle, handcuffed her and touched her on her breasts over her shirt, police said. He then had nonconsensual sex with the woman, according to a police report. Neal was arrested after a traffic stop at about 2 a.m. Saturday morning, police said. An emergency protective order was filed against Neal to protect the victim and her child, according to the report. |
