LAKELAND, FL (WFLA) - A former
Lakeland Police Officer is on trial for aggravated battery and sexual battery.
Lakeland Police Officer Julio
Pagan was arrested last year. Investigators claim he sexually battered a woman,
while on duty and in uniform, on two occasions.
The woman claimed Pagan came to
her house and demanded sex. She told investigators she gave in because he had a
gun.
The woman told investigators
she was too ashamed to come forward. Lakeland Police are also accused of
brushing off the official complaint the victim's friend called in for her.
A jury was seated Monday.
Pagan's trial is expected to last several days.
