A new investigation by the Associated Press has uncovered about 1,000 cases where police officers across the country lost their badges for sexual assault or misconduct over a six-year period. In one case, Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw was accused of victimizing 13 women; his trial opens today. The AP says its tally is “unquestionably an undercount,” since many people are afraid to report sexual assault by police and since key states did not provide records or inaccurately said no officers had been removed for sexual misconduct.
