A former California police sergeant has been charged with more than a dozen counts of sexual assault and other crimes after misconduct allegations by multiple people spurred an internal affairs investigation at the Stockton Police Department.
Former Stockton Police Sgt. Nicholas Bloed was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with 15 counts, including assault while serving as an officer, forcible oral copulation, the pursuit of bribes and prostitution. The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office filed the charges with the Superior Court of the State of California.
Bloed, who graduated from the Ray Simon Police Academy in 2002, was hired by the Stockton Police Department in 2008 after serving as an officer in Modesto, California. He's worked as a patrol officer, motor officer and field training officer. Allen Sawyer, a lawyer representing Bloed, told The Associated Press his client resigned from the police department after making a"lapse in judgement" by engaging in what Bloed contends was consensual sexual activity with people he met through his role as an officer.
The AP generally doesn't name people who say they've been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly.
