BREAKING: A former Philadelphia homicide detective who was found guilty of sexually assaulting witnesses and informants was just sentenced to decades in prison.
Nordo first joined the police force in 1997 and was promoted to detective in 2002. Seven years later, he was on the Homicide Unit. During that time, Nordo allegedly"used his position of authority" to intimidate, rape and assault men associated with his cases. He then bullied them into silence, the heavily redacted report said.
Much of this behavior occurred during active investigations. He also volunteered to work closely with his victims, including transporting inmates and witnesses for other detectives. These encounters allowed him to identify new victims or conceal his relationships with existing victims, the report said.
Victims alleged Nordo would display his firearm and would tell suspects no one would believe them if they reported the alleged incidents.
