Bogota cops accused of sexually harrassing shoplifting suspects

Bogota cops accused of sexually harrassing shoplifting suspects
Apr 6, 2015 posted by Talor Gruenwald

Two women detained on suspicions of shoplifting have allegedly been offered release in exchange for sexual relations by policemen, reported Caracol Radio on Monday.

After being reportedly caught in the act of petty theft, the two women were held at a local police station in the Antonio Nariño neighborhood of Bogota instead of taken to the prosecutor’s office.

It was here that a superintendent and captain allegedly sexually abused the detainees in an office, offering their summary release if they complied with the sexual demands.

The women reported the occurrence to the Immediate Reaction Unit of the Puente Aranda prosecutor’s office. The Prosecutor General’s office immediately opened an investigation to find out whether or not any actual sexual abuse occurred, while the Police Department simultaneously opened an internal disciplinary investigation.
