USA: Prostitution Alleged With
DURHAM, N.C. -- Two Durham police officers resigned during an internal investigation into possible sexual misconduct and prostitution, officials said Friday.
During the first week of October 2007, Durham vice officers were told by a female that she had engaged in acts of prostitution with officers from the Durham Police Department. Internal Affairs Officers started an undercover criminal investigation of the allegations.
A lengthy investigation has yet to substantiate the woman’s claims, according to officials. Investigators interviewed numerous people, including the implicated officers, but none of the allegations made by the woman could be substantiated. The Police Department is still awaiting the results of DNA testing before concluding the criminal investigation.
But during the investigation, it was found that two Sergeant Keith Cheeks and Officer Demond Gooch, had been involved in misconduct unrelated to the original allegations. Both officers resigned prior to the conclusion of the investigation.
Chief Jose Lopez Sr. said he has strong faith in the behavior of his officers.
“I have full confidence in the integrity of our investigative processes," he said in a statement. "When those processes uncover conduct unbecoming a Durham police officer it is important that the conduct and the officers be admonished. However, it is equally important to recognize the hard work and integrity of the men and women of the Durham Police Department who serve this community every day.”
Lopez said he would not comment further until the investigation is complete.
