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.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office previously said Nunlee had taken the woman upstairs, while his partner was downstairs with her boyfriend.
