The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has opened an investigation into one of their own troopers over allegations that he raped a woman during a traffic stop.
According to a lawsuit obtained by Tulsa World, the victim, who was only identified with initials, was driving with a female friend near Tulsa on July 22 when she was spotted by Trooper Eric Roberts.
The lawsuit said that Roberts made eye contact, and turned his cruiser around to initiate a traffic stop. Although the woman said she had not violated any laws, Roberts claimed that he could smell marijuana.
You just made my day, the trooper reportedly said, and directed the woman to come behind his car where he began asking inappropriate sexual questions. When Roberts asked the woman how she satisfied herself sexually, she began to fear for her safety, the lawsuit said.
