    Default Can you believe this???

    Two cops taken off streets after rape accusation
    Two Northeast Philadelphia police officers were taken off the street and reassigned to desk jobs last week after a woman accused them of sexually assaulting her.
    According to an official police department source, the officers are under investigation by both the special victims unit and internal affairs division of the police department.
    Another department source said that the officers’ accuser is employed as a stripper at Daydreams, on the 5200 block of Unruh Ave. in Tacony.
    The woman was not at work when the alleged attacks occurred, the source said.
    The incident was reported to the police department on the morning of Dec. 11.
    The officers were reassigned on the same day. They are not working in the 15th Police District.
    According a report published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, the woman told investigators that she was stopped by the suspect officers on the 6400 block of Frankford Ave., only a few blocks from her place of work, shortly after midnight.
    The woman allegedly told investigators that she was using drugs at the time, the Inquirer reported.
    The police officers allegedly ordered the woman into the back of a patrol car, where one of them raped her and the other forced her to perform oral sex, before releasing her, the newspaper reported.
    Hours later, the woman allegedly reported the incident to the 26th Police District.
    A police department spokesman did not reveal the names of those involved nor confirm any details about the incident.
    According to police sources, both officers have about a half-dozen years in the department and had been assigned to the 15th district for about two years each.

    *** I think just because she was a dancer, it didnt really matter what she said. Two cops raped this poor girl and they arent even fired?!?!?!?!?!? WTF!!! And this happened to a girl at a club I have been to , and still have friends who work there!!! Terrible...

    this is why i wash off my makeup and drive very carefully on the way home from work. I do not trust cops, especially ones that might get it in their heads that I am sexually available/expendable.

    That poor girl. I hope she's doing okay.

    That is crazy...I'm in amazement that the only reprimandment the cops in question have gotten so far is to be demoted to some desk jobs..what kinda crap is that??

    I hope that she's doing ok..damn.
    At this time in my life, the only way I keep moving forward is to know that things will eventually get better..

    Wow, I hope I can find this article on line and save it. I like to collect stories like this to remind me how unsafe the world is.

    I never even thought I could be raped by a cop???

    This is shocking. I hope there is some sort of public outcry against this. At the very least these officers should be alienated and disrespected by others on the force and the community. But I doubt that will happen.

    They should be in jail and never be allowed to work for the police force again.

    Was there any physical evidence? They could at least get in trouble for having sex on the job if not for rape.
    Those who bring sunshine into lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.

    MotherDaisy hit a point, she ACCUSED them of rape - they apparently do not have the evidence for arrest, possibly lack of physical evidence, but also she because she was on drugs at the time. The accused are under investigation. They are no longer patrolling the streets, at the very least.

    Yes, it's highly possible they aren't taking the case as seriously because she is a stripper [look at how it reads, esp. using the term stripper instead of dancer or similar]. But there are some holes in this story, was she leaving work, or was she just hanging out in that section of town around midnight? Not to say that crackheads deserve to be raped, absolutely nobody does, but I don't as readily believe someone who was under the influence and involved in suspicious activity in the first place.

    <i>I never even thought I could be raped by a cop</i>

    I expect it more from them than other strangers. (keeping in mind that rape from strangers is rare.)
    Think about it, they&#039;re in a Boys&#039; Club situation due to the minority of female officers, and they have a very good chance of getting away with it. *shudder* Cops freak me out.

    Things like scare me so bad..if cops are doing this kind of thing who the hell can we rely on to protect us? NO BODY! This world is a truly frightening place. I&#039;m so scared every night leaving work, i always take a cab. I&#039;ve heard too many stories of cab drivers taking dancers to some remote place and raping/killing/torture etc. i always tell them im a waitress when they ask, just so they don&#039;t assume i have large amount of $ on me

    do you carry weapons? i feel like it won&#039;t help me, if a man&#039;s out to take advantage they are so much stronger and bigger, they will easily...i&#039;m afraid they&#039;ll use it against me (gun, pepper, etc)

    i feel so bad for this girl :&#039;(...who cares that she was using drugs...even the lowliest of crack whores dont deserve rape

    regardless of what really happened, they obviously do not have enough hard evidence to charge the officers. In a "word of a stripper vs. word of a cop" situation, absolutely nothing will come of this other than the dancer being thoroughly investigated herself and possibly busted. Without hard evidence, the cops will walk !

    Its true Melonie, I agree..without hard evidence the cops will walk. And they have. I am from philly and when this happened it was all the talk of all the clubs .
    This poor girl.
    THe news papers portrayed it as tho the cops were the victims with crap about how both officers have served the city for over ten years...and how they both had families.
    WHo Cares!!!!!!! Obviously that is 10 years to long and their wives should be filing for divorse.

    I think this is not only rape, but I&#039;d also speculate a prime example of abuse of power and sexual manipulation.

    SHE honestly reported she was under the influence of drugs. I&#039;m betting she also had in her possession drugs and possibly also under the influence of alcohol... and was manipulated into performing those acts to prevent arrest. Upon sobering up the next day, she realized what really happened and did the right thing by reporting the incident.

    Kudos to her for standing up to those bastards. Even if they aren&#039;t able to convict or hang those morons, it&#039;s critical information for other women in the area that may have had similar incidents that went unreported. Chances are pretty good this wasn&#039;t a first time thing for the two officers in question.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.
