OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma City police officer accused of
sexually assaulting women is facing 10 new charges.
The additional charges against
27-year-old Daniel Holtzclaw filed Friday include first-degree rape, rape by
instrumentation, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy and indecent exposure.
Prosecutors also say they have identified two additional victims, bringing the
total number of victims to 10.
Holtzclaw was arrested and
charged in August with 16 counts that include rape, sexual battery, indecent
exposure, stalking, forcible sodomy and burglary.
He pleaded not guilty to the
charges and is free on bond. His defense attorney did not immediately return a
phone call Friday night.
The investigation began when
police said a woman complained that Holtzclaw had sexually assaulted her during
a traffic stop about 2 miles north of the state Capitol.
