Chicago to Pay $415,000 to Woman Who Reported Police Raped Her in 2011

http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/30043-chicago-to-pay-415000-to-woman-who-reported-police-raped-her-in-2011

Chicago is due to give $415,000 on Wednesday to a woman who reported she was raped by two uniformed police officers after they drove her home in their squad car when they found her drunk on the street.

She sued the city in federal court.

A separate lawsuit is pending from another woman who came forward to report that she was assaulted by one of the same officers after they also offered her a ride home in an incident three weeks earlier.

The finance committee of the city council approved the settlement on Tuesday and the $415,000 payment is set to be ratified by the full council on Wednesday, just over three years after the event, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The two officers involved, Paul Clavijo and Juan Vasquez, both 41, left the Chicago police department following the alleged rape in March 2011.

They were indicted on 26 criminal charges but in January 2014 they were sentenced to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to one felony count each of official misconduct, involving battery, in a deal that involved no admission of sexual wrongdoing.

in the Fresno area alone, over the last five years probably more than a half dozen cops have been busted (BY OUT OF THE JURISDICTION INVESTIGATIONS) for purchasing quantities out of state, soliciting bribes, even the #2 Deputy Police Chief went down a few weeks ago.
While the McClatchy Bee COMPLETELY disregarded the Chief of Police family history (nephew popped for dealing drugs out of his cop mother's home) as they "covered" the story that laid sole culpability on the #2 guy.
I love corruption and censorship. Thats where the action is.
