He'll serve no jail time and the charges will be dismissed in six months. He still has his job.

Nine months ago, two police officers were accused of forcing transgender women to have sex with them by threatening to take them to jail if the women didn’t comply. Now one of them has pled guilty – to “sexual solicitation” of a prostitute.

Officer Ian G Lucas from the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s office and an unnamed officer from the Washington DC police force have been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. The officers allegedly would target transgender prostitutes and threaten to to take them to jail unless they gave the officers oral sex.

One woman went to DC’s FOX station with her story, providing photos and video proof of her accusation. In one, the officer is shown having sex inside of his squad car. Another photo shows a veteran police lieutenant wearing a DC Police polo shirt, naked from the waist down and having sex with one of the women.

Multiple women testified in front a grand jury about the officers’ conduct after being granted immunity. But instead of throwing the book at the two men who abused their authority to sexually assault women, both police forces and the federal prosecutor seem to have shrugged their shoulders.
