Police Officer Accused Of Raping Female Officer

PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – An Allegheny County judge has barred a Pittsburgh police officer from any contact with a female officer who accused him of raping her. Our news partners at Channel 11 obtained a copy of that ruling after a female officer filed paperwork, asking the court to grant a permanent protective order against the officer. The judge in the case also made some very strong comments about the case. She said she found evidence that the female officer was the victim of sexual violence and that she is still in danger of harm. The judge issued the order after the male officer, whom WPXI is not naming because he has not been charged criminally, was ordered to appear at a protection hearing earlier this month. A spokesperson for the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department told Target 11 that the city will abide by the court order, but the city offered no details and declined to discuss the matter further.
