San Jose cop accused of rape faces new charge

By Tracey Kaplan

SAN JOSE -- The San Jose police officer accused of rape was charged Tuesday with a whole new crime -- storming out of the Gilroy Safeway with a bottle of vodka about 2:30 a.m. in violation of a state law that bans the sale or purchase of alcohol between 2 and 6 a.m. Officer Geoffrey Graves faces one misdemeanor count of violating that law, but he was not charged with theft because a grocery store cashier said he left $20 at the checkstand, apparently enough to cover the cost.
The incident occurred May 25, though it did not surface publicly until Tuesday when Graves was arraigned.
The new charge comes while Graves is free on $100,000 bail and on paid administrative leave for the Sept. 22 alleged rape of an undocumented woman he first encountered during a disturbance call. He faces up to eight years in prison if he is convicted. However, experts say prosecutors could add a gun enhancement because he was armed at the time of the alleged sexual assault, potentially extending his maximum sentence to life in prison.
The Safeway incident was captured by the store's surveillance cameras, law enforcement sources said.
A customer is seen approaching the checkstand with a bottle of liquor about 2:30 a.m., talking briefly to a cashier, throwing down some money and stalking out. In an interview with police, the cashier said he told the customer he couldn't sell him the alcohol.
It is not uncommon for such incidents to be knocked down to an infraction punishable by a fine. But if Graves' rape case goes to trial, the prosecution may be able to introduce the matter as character evidence -- in particular, of his alleged disdain for the law.
Graves, who did not enter a plea Tuesday, is due back in court Oct. 16 on the alcohol charge. His preliminary hearing on the rape charge is set for Oct. 1 but may be continued until later this year.
