A
Dallas police officer has been accused of forcing a woman to perform sex acts
in the back of his squad car in exchange for her freedom.
According
to The Dallas Morning Star, an arrest affidavit alleges that on Sept. 9,
Officer La’Cori Johnson stopped the woman, had her get in the back of his
patrol car, parked in a remote location and sexually assaulted her.
Johnson
allegedly had the woman perform sexual acts on him before he forced himself
onto her, all while he was on duty. He let her go after he was done.
The
incident was reported and Johnson was placed on administrative leave pending an
investigation. On Tuesday, he was questioned and arrested.
Attorney
Kimberly Priest Johnson, no relation, told WFAA that "With any sexual
assault, the victim is going to have lasting damage from that attack; but in
this particular case, the damage extends beyond the victim, and it impacts the
entire public."
Authorities
say the 28-year-old officer was charged with the assault and taken to the
Dallas County jail.
