An LA Cop Was Caught Appearing to Fondle a Dead Woman's Breasts on Body Camera Footage
The officer hasn't been named but was placed on administrative leave with pay.
The Los Angeles Police Department caught one of its officers appearing to molest a woman’s corpse on body-camera footage. The officer, who hasn’t been named, turned off the device, but a two-minute buffer later captured the incident, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The unnamed officer allegedly fondled the dead woman’s breasts and has since been put on administrative leave with pay, pending a department investigation. But it’s unclear when the incident occurred, according to the New York Times. The Los Angeles Police Department conducts random reviews of body camera footage each month, and told KCBS that it discovered the incident during one of those inspections.
The officer, who’s been described as a veteran of the force, apparently attempted to deactivate his body-worn camera during the alleged incident, but later turned the camera back on, which automatically starts recording two minutes before activation, according to the LA Times.
At the time the footage was taken, the officer and his partner were responding to a call at a residential unit about a possible death. Once they confirmed the woman was dead, one officer went to the patrol car to retrieve standard paperwork, while the other officer stayed with the body. It’s at that point that he allegedly assaulted the dead woman.
