Another on duty C-bus PD officer sexually coerced at least 1 woman.
The title really should be an on duty CPD officer raped a sex worker while on duty, b/c IMO of the power imbalance between them.

He got caught b/c he turned off his body cam
Snip-"On Oct. 31, 2023, and March 22, 2024, federal investigators say Duty deactivated or removed his body camera during interactions with two women, including during a sexual encounter.
During the alleged incidents, the officer was on duty in a marked police vehicle wearing an official police uniform and an assigned body camera. He was required to comply with Columbus Division of Police policies for wearing the camera, according to investigators."

snip-"Prosecutors said the investigation started after an unnamed woman notified officers working street-level prostitution crimes along Sullivant Avenue about Duty's in-uniform activities.
She picked him out of a photo array, and law enforcement started a broader review, finding that Duty targeted women who were victims of crime or female sex workers.
In one instance, a woman said that on October 31, 2023, Duty hit on her and exchanged phone numbers with him while transporting her to Columbus Police Headquarters after arresting her for interfering with officers after calling 911 because her boyfriend was threatening self-harm.
Investigators found that Duty manually turned off his body-worn camera and the in-cruiser camera during transport. GPS data showed him taking her to headquarters and then taking her directly to her residence.
