If a civilian rapes a woman at gunpoint, he's going away for a good long time.

But since this guy's a police officer, they're debating whether or not he should do a year.

Also, nowhere did I see a mention of whether this cop has to register as a sexual predator. He did violate a woman by force; whether she's a prostitute or not doesn't matter.

The article leads me to believe that the actual charge is not a sex crime but more of abuse of position as a police officer so there would be no provision for registering as a sex offender. Not that I don't think he should. Plus it's Federal court, a state court may have handled that part differently. Anyway it's good to weed out a POS like this from the force.

Also, it says "the 19 year-old". Is she 19 now or 19 then? If 19 now wouldn't that make her underage when this happened in 2004?
