New Orleans Police Officer Accused of Sexual Assault

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A seven-year veteran of the New Orleans Police Department was arrested Friday on charges he sexually assaulted a woman after identifying himself as an officer while off-duty.

Corey Johnson, 34, allegedly got into the house where the assault occurred after telling the occupants he was a police officer. Once the residents let him in, he allegedly threatened two men, asked a 21-year-old woman for sexual favors, and then sexually assaulted a 24-year-old woman.

Another woman managed to call police, who arrived to find Johnson in the back of the house. He was arrested and faces one count of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated assault.

Johnson has been suspended, without pay.

''When a member of this department compromises the trust and privileges granted by the public there will be swift and definite action taken,'' Superintendent Eddie Compass said. ''No person, including police officers, is above the law and we, as public servants, must maintain the highest of professional standards.''

Unfortunately, this type of behavior is not exclusive to New Orleans.

Seems like the NOPD are not quite clear on what the Vice Squad is actually supposed to do.

If convicted his lawyer will argue that his conviction is void because the indictment charging him with the offense of aggravated rape is fatally defective because it failed to allege the requisite mens rea.

NOLA PD had Death Row reserved for former NOLA PD, there was a time when everyone on Death Row was a former NOLA PD (4 of them)

That being said, Mayor Morial made it even worse for the citizens of New Orleans when he Implemented and Enforced the Residency requirement. (If you are a City Employee, you must live inside the City Limits)

Now it was common knowledge that the Mayor lived across the Lake, though he had an old nasty Pink House that he never stayed at inside City Limits, City Council spread themselves out in the Garden District and some of them were outside as well. MANY employees left even though they were just across the line, MANY employees are very happy that they left when they did, Morial wasn't anymore a Leader than Nagin is now, both sought the Office of Mayor for the same reason, and that was to fill their pockets with Tax Payer Money and to build a residual income for when they left office.

Leadership is not in their vocabulary, both are just Beneficial Victims, they benefit from others misfortune and others TAX Money.

When the investigation into Nagins piss poor leadership begins, they should go ahead and research Mark Morial as well, both were very overt with their Graft and Corruption.
