LAPD K-Town Incident

[eltee]

In re. the woman who said she jumped out of an LAPD unit to avoid being sexually assaulted, happened in or near Korea Town.

IIRC, LAPD doesn't use screen units and has an officer ride escort in the back, at least that's how it was when I lived in LA decades ago. Is this still how they transport suspects?

I'd be totally surprised if anything she alleges is true, but being out of the L.A. area I haven't seen much about this incident. Any insight from the LE community? Is she just trying to beat the rap and make some money?

Any insight on behalf of the cops appreciated, and ok to PM me if opsec is an issue. THANKS.

For the record, I am retired California L.E. (lieutenant) after 30ish years of service.

They use cages now.

Not a lot of accurate or credible info out there. The only one making statements is her lawyer, and he has no obligation to tell the truth at a press conference.

Negligence for not properly securing her? Possibly

Sexual assault? Doubtful

^^^ Yes, that incident. I cannot fathom it being true, but stranger things have happened.

It all depends on if the officers notified dispatch of the female transport as is LAPD policy.

The incident did not happen in Korea Town it happened in Downtown LA at the intersection of Olympic and Grand.
