Cops accused of sexual misconduct involving migrant living at Chicago police station
The Chicago Police Department said in an email sent late Thursday that the department's bureau of internal affairs, as well as the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, had opened an investigation into allegations involving an officer or officers, the Chicago Tribune reported.
After notifying the police department's internal affairs bureau of the allegations, internal affairs then"formally opened this investigation," the COPA statement added. The department also did not respond Friday to questions from The Associated Press seeking to confirm whether any officers had been reprimanded.
A spokesperson for the office of Mayor Brandon Johnson told the Chicago Tribune that"the city takes these allegations, as well as the care and well-being of all residents and new arrivals, very seriously."
