Criminal behavior Sexual Assault

2015-32: Committed criminal acts of a sexual nature against the victim. Criminal Conduct Initiated: Kidnapping Sexual Assault in the First Degree (Pursuant to the grievance process, arbitrator ordered discharge vacated and officer reinstated. While the arbitrator noted procedural and technical flaws, the gravamen of his decision was focused on the allegation of commission of a criminal act. Notwithstanding the evidence presented at the hearing, which included the testimony of the victim, the arbitrator found, inter alia, that "clear and convincing evidence" on the issue of consent was not presented to support the decision to terminate the officer. Because the issue of consent was material to HPD's decision to terminate the officer, the arbitrator ordered the officer to be reinstated without penalty and otherwise made whole.)
