In Perez's case, the former deputy repeatedly coaxed her to send naked pictures of herself, and he repeatedly sent her photos of his penis, according to Abuslin's testimony that referenced the messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her civil attorney, John Burris, said Wednesday that repeating that experience was taking a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It causes her to have a loss of faith, if you will, in the judicial system and really raises question in her own mind as to whether or not it’s worth it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors made their decision to scrap the charges before a preliminary hearing for LoVerde with that in mind, according to the district attorney's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are always mindful of how difficult it has been for the victim in these matters to testify in open court about her exploitation, and we made today’s decision in close consultation with her,\" Drenick wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is one criminal prosecution related to Abuslin remaining.

The charges were based on a series of encounters between Perez and the now 20-year-old Jasmine Abuslin, also known as Celeste Guap, in the summer of 2015, when she was 17 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Judge Jon Rolefson ruled from the bench Wednesday that the prosecution had not met its burden to prove Perez was guilty of either charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s nothing in this set of facts that he knew or should have known [Abuslin's age],\" Rolefson said in court. \"The burden is on the prosecution to disprove that lack of knowledge. They did not do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the lewd conduct in a public place, Rolefson found prosecutors failed to prove a likelihood that anyone who could be offended would be at the dark spot off rural Fish Ranch Road in Alameda County, where Perez allegedly drove Abuslin to have sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s no reasonable expectation that someone would be present to see it and be offended,\" Rolefson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez's defense attorney, Joe Motta, said his client couldn't talk about the case because he's still a defendant in one of five lawsuits brought by Abuslin against Contra Costa County, Alameda County, San Francisco, Richmond and Livermore.

Perez sent several photographs of his naked penis to Abuslin between July 2015 and April 2016, according to the testimony and exhibits at the preliminary hearing. Abuslin, though sometimes she protested, sent several naked, sexually explicit photographs of herself to the former deputy, sometimes while he appeared to be on duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Perez did nothing to exploit this young woman,\" Motta said. Abuslin appears to have been sexually trafficked since she was 12 years old, he said, but the prosecution didn't investigate her earlier life and what led her to cultivate relationships with so many law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the time she was 17 or 18, she’s been a one-woman wrecking ball,\" Motta said. \"She’s destroyed lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dismissal of charges against Perez comes less than a month after Rolefson \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/09/13/charges-dismissed-for-ex-oakland-officer-in-police-sex-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tossed out charges\u003c/a> against former Oakland police Officer Brian Bunton for allegedly trading information on prostitution stings for sex with Abuslin, who was over 18 and working in the sex trade at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fizzling criminal prosecutions are in contrast to the major scandal that inspired them and precipitated a succession of police chief \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/17/a-department-in-crisis-yet-another-oakland-police-chief-removed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resignations\u003c/a> in Oakland last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the dismissal Wednesday of charges against Perez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman called the dismissal of charges against Bunton in September \"disappointing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We firmly stand behind the criminal charges that we filed and wholeheartedly believe that the evidence supports the charges,\" the office said in a statement last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Stanford Law School Professor Robert Weisberg said there's a difference between a major scandal in the news and criminal charges before a judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it is a highly morally fraught case, as these are, and the allegations -- even if they’re just allegations -- are very, very stigmatizing, then the case is going to look worse for the defendants at the very start because it’s all a big part of this scandal,\" Weisberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the cases proceed through the criminal system, they separate from each other and from the larger scandal, allowing defense attorneys to focus on the weaknesses of charges against individual officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It turns out that the evidence is much more equivocal once you have lawyers homing in on the specific allegations against the specific individual, and you really stick to the facts about that particular individual rather than some general sense that he is part of some wider scandal or scheme,\" Weisberg said. \"The cases look weaker when they’re looked at with great scrutiny on an individual basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible, Weisberg said, that pending civil claims will fare better than the criminal charges, due in part to a lower standard of proof in civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney John Burris, who represents Abuslin in those cases, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The civil case is one place that you can get stuff done,\" he said. \"You don’t have the similar constraints that you have in criminal cases that I think prevents jurors and judges from really objectively evaluating police officers’ conduct if it can result in jail or prison terms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Abuslin's hours-long testimony in preliminary hearings concerning Bunton and Perez was difficult for her, and she's considering whether it's worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s very, very painful for her to put herself out like that and offer testimony and then to have it sort of rejected, if you will, later,\" Burris said. \"It’s been an eye-opener for her and certainly raises questions about whether she should go forward in any of these further criminal cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's expected to repeat that process in Alameda County Superior Court Thursday morning, when Oakland police Officer Giovanni LoVerde is scheduled for a preliminary hearing. LoVerde is charged with felony oral copulation with a minor stemming from an alleged meeting near Lake Merritt when Abuslin was 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to charging documents, Abuslin \"orally copulated suspect [LoVerde] in a public area, an apartment entryway.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

In Perez's case, the former deputy repeatedly coaxed her to send naked pictures of herself, and he repeatedly sent her photos of his penis, according to Abuslin's testimony that referenced the messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her civil attorney, John Burris, said Wednesday that repeating that experience was taking a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It causes her to have a loss of faith, if you will, in the judicial system and really raises question in her own mind as to whether or not it’s worth it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors made their decision to scrap the charges before a preliminary hearing for LoVerde with that in mind, according to the district attorney's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are always mindful of how difficult it has been for the victim in these matters to testify in open court about her exploitation, and we made today’s decision in close consultation with her,\" Drenick wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is one criminal prosecution related to Abuslin remaining.

Perez sent several photographs of his naked penis to Abuslin between July 2015 and April 2016, according to the testimony and exhibits at the preliminary hearing. Abuslin, though sometimes she protested, sent several naked, sexually explicit photographs of herself to the former deputy, sometimes while he appeared to be on duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Perez did nothing to exploit this young woman,\" Motta said.

The case led to the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/10/sean-whent-out-as-oakland-police-chief-reports-say/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forced resignation of former Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/17/a-department-in-crisis-yet-another-oakland-police-chief-removed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quick succession of two interim chiefs\u003c/a> last June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least three high-ranking OPD officers supervised aspects of the department's initial response to the case, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/naming-names-these-officers-are-responsible-for-the-failed-oakland-police-sex-scandal-investigation/Content?oid=7673287\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reporting by the East Bay Express\u003c/a>, and were since promoted, put in for promotion or reassigned to another supervisory position by Oakland's new police chief, Anne Kirkpatrick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights attorney Jim Chanin represents one side of the \"Riders\" case that initiated federal court oversight of the OPD 14 years ago.

Specifically, the attorneys are calling for an investigation of officers who supervised the Police Department's initial response to allegations about Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These include people at the very highest levels of the OPD,\" civil rights attorney Jim Chanin said after the hearing on Monday. \"The city needs to identify them and hold them accountable.

But Oakland city attorneys argued in court that those Police Department supervisors should be part of fixing the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city and the department see this review as an opportunity for those who were involved in the investigations to self-identify areas of improvement,\" Oakland City Attorney and Police Department legal counsel Kim Bliss said in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We disagree with that,\" civil rights attorney John Burris said. \"I'm concerned that you shouldn’t have people involved who really diverted the investigation, who short-stopped the investigation. I think that’s a bad signal for everyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details of any further federal oversight that would ultimately grow from the sexual exploitation case are in the hands of Judge Thelton Henderson, who is set to retire next month after 36 years on the bench and 14 years presiding over reform of the Oakland Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's expected to issue his last order on the matter in the coming days, and in August Judge William Orrick will take over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find myself inspired to continue to be optimistic,\" Henderson said. \"The progress has been neither quick nor easy, but it has been made. We have not been without our setbacks, including this most recent one, but I hope that the defendants are now back on the path for full and sustainable compliance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all the parties acknowledge they've heard promises and optimism about OPD's progress before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris, quoting Yogi Berra, said it feels like \"deja vu all over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The case eventually led to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/09/alameda-county-da-charges-7-cops-with-sexually-exploiting-teenager/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">criminal charges\u003c/a> for four OPD officers, ranging from failure to report child abuse to engaging in prostitution and obstruction of justice.

Specifically, the attorneys are calling for an investigation of officers who supervised the Police Department's initial response to allegations about Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These include people at the very highest levels of the OPD,\" civil rights attorney Jim Chanin said after the hearing on Monday. \"The city needs to identify them and hold them accountable.

But Oakland city attorneys argued in court that those Police Department supervisors should be part of fixing the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city and the department see this review as an opportunity for those who were involved in the investigations to self-identify areas of improvement,\" Oakland City Attorney and Police Department legal counsel Kim Bliss said in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We disagree with that,\" civil rights attorney John Burris said. \"I'm concerned that you shouldn’t have people involved who really diverted the investigation, who short-stopped the investigation. I think that’s a bad signal for everyone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details of any further federal oversight that would ultimately grow from the sexual exploitation case are in the hands of Judge Thelton Henderson, who is set to retire next month after 36 years on the bench and 14 years presiding over reform of the Oakland Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's expected to issue his last order on the matter in the coming days, and in August Judge William Orrick will take over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find myself inspired to continue to be optimistic,\" Henderson said. \"The progress has been neither quick nor easy, but it has been made. We have not been without our setbacks, including this most recent one, but I hope that the defendants are now back on the path for full and sustainable compliance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all the parties acknowledge they've heard promises and optimism about OPD's progress before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris, quoting Yogi Berra, said it feels like \"deja vu all over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They are asking for a court order compelling the city to list every potential act of misconduct identified in the \"Swanson report\" and explain steps taken to investigate or discipline offending officers and supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court specifically ordered both parties to report on the implementation of a comprehensive, computerized system for tracking officer conduct, called PRIME, which went live in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland city officials acknowledge problems with the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Admittedly, there have been significant implementation and performance issues with PRIME 1.0, including numerous technological 'bugs,' \" the city's statement says. \"The city believes these setbacks are temporary. They are fixable; they will be fixed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city also lays out plans for an updated version of the system, PRIME 2.0, which would integrate body-worn camera footage and racial-stop data analytics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland and plaintiffs' attorneys are scheduled to present their arguments at a status hearing on Monday before two federal judges.
