A former Detroit police
officer, accused of sexually assaulting a woman while responding to a domestic
violence call, has been sentenced to prison.
Deon Nunlee was sentenced today
by Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans to serve 19 months to 15 years in
prison for the October 2013 alleged assault. His attorney, Antonio Tuddles,
said Nunlee previously pleaded guilty under a plea agreement to misconduct in
office and second-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Nunlee was accused of
assaulting a woman, who had called 911 after reportedly being assaulted by her
boyfriend.
The victim in the case, who is
not being identified by the Free Press, testified in a preliminary examination
earlier this year that she called 911 because her boyfriend was upset and
damaging the home they shared.
Nunlee pulled the woman's pants
down against her will and forced her hands on his penis in the early morning
hours of Oct. 30, the woman testified.
