We found no conspiracies,” Police Chief Brown wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/12/police-chief-no-crimes-by-richmond-officers-in-sexual-exploitation-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report on his department's investigation\u003c/a> last September. “The facts show individual, unconnected, non-criminal engagements and other activities that violate multiple Department policies and the professional Code of Ethics on the part of several RPD officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that Officer Terrance Jackson met Abuslin when she was in high school and he was assigned as a school resource officer. They allegedly discussed Abuslin's work in the sex trade, but Jackson did not attempt to help the sex-trafficked minor. After she left high school, Jackson allegedly fondled her, according to the lawsuit.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"W1GpDKOTDw2Wo9OrTCmiccNVcvOl24bx\"]\u003cbr>\nLt. Andre Hill, a former Richmond police spokesman, also allegedly met Abuslin when she was in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shortly thereafter, he started grooming her, preparing her for his sexual advances,\" the lawsuit says. \"He would routinely call her and tell her to stand in the front picture window of her home that faces the street. He would instruct her to disrobe and flash her breasts at him while he drove by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit goes on to allege that Abuslin had sex with Hill \"in exchange for receiving protection and confidential information from Officer Hill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond Sgt. Armando Moreno allegedly met Abuslin while patrolling an area known for sex trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[T]he two exchanged phone numbers, with Officer Moreno promising to connect [Abuslin] with resources that could help her out of the sex exploitation industry,\" the lawsuit says. \"As events unfolded, this promise was merely a ploy to gain [Abuslin's] confidence in order to obtain sexual favors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno allegedly gave Abuslin some pamphlets \"that could assist her with getting out of the 'life,' \" according to the lawsuit. But later, in spring 2016, their relationship became sexual. Moreno also allegedly shared a police report with Abuslin about a sexual assault against one of her friends.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"0GpVXWhQTBv6JSJuNZMxmoeURCiy6xaQ\"]\u003cbr>\nThe lawsuit accuses Moreno of texting Abuslin to alert her of a prostitution sting operation, but she was detained before she could leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consistent with the protection [Abuslin] received in exchange for sexual favors, the Officer immediately released her without issuing a citation or arresting her,\" the lawsuit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Rood allegedly met Abuslin for sex several times in early 2016, according to the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He confided in her his foot fetish and would often text and/or call to ask questions about her feet,\" the complaint says. \"Defendant Rood knew [Abuslin] was a sex worker and took advantage of his status as a police officer by coercing her into having sexual encounters in exchange for providing her protection from arrest and prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Jerrod Tong met Abuslin through \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/14/__trashed-20/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social media\u003c/a>, according to the lawsuit, which is a way Abuslin met many law enforcement officers, according to her testimony at a recent preliminary hearing in a criminal case. Tong allegedly visited Abuslin while he was on duty, and then continued to meet her near her home for sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tong supported and promoted [Abuslin's] prostitution activities,\" the lawsuit says. \"For example, he would ask her to send him pictures and suggest outfits and poses for her prostitution ads.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said Friday that the scale of the case goes well beyond Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were a number of officers in Oakland, a number of officers in Richmond, some officers in Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department, some officers in Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, Livermore, as well as at least two in San Francisco,\" Burris said. \"And it was as if this young woman was being passed around as if she was a sex slave that was available at these men’s beck and calls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the lawsuit against Richmond won't likely be the last in the wide-ranging case. Legal claims against Contra Costa and Alameda counties as well as San Francisco and Livermore have yet to be settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly some of them are going to be sued, but I don’t know how many of them,\" Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the complaint below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3935225-Jane-Doe-v-City-of-Richmond-et-al\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

But no Richmond officers were criminally charged in Alameda or Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each case is unique. We found no conspiracies,” Police Chief Brown wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/12/police-chief-no-crimes-by-richmond-officers-in-sexual-exploitation-scandal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report on his department's investigation\u003c/a> last September. “The facts show individual, unconnected, non-criminal engagements and other activities that violate multiple Department policies and the professional Code of Ethics on the part of several RPD officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that Officer Terrance Jackson met Abuslin when she was in high school and he was assigned as a school resource officer. They allegedly discussed Abuslin's work in the sex trade, but Jackson did not attempt to help the sex-trafficked minor. After she left high school, Jackson allegedly fondled her, according to the lawsuit.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nLt. Andre Hill, a former Richmond police spokesman, also allegedly met Abuslin when she was in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shortly thereafter, he started grooming her, preparing her for his sexual advances,\" the lawsuit says. \"He would routinely call her and tell her to stand in the front picture window of her home that faces the street. He would instruct her to disrobe and flash her breasts at him while he drove by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit goes on to allege that Abuslin had sex with Hill \"in exchange for receiving protection and confidential information from Officer Hill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond Sgt.

But later, in spring 2016, their relationship became sexual. Moreno also allegedly shared a police report with Abuslin about a sexual assault against one of her friends.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nThe lawsuit accuses Moreno of texting Abuslin to alert her of a prostitution sting operation, but she was detained before she could leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Consistent with the protection [Abuslin] received in exchange for sexual favors, the Officer immediately released her without issuing a citation or arresting her,\" the lawsuit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Mike Rood allegedly met Abuslin for sex several times in early 2016, according to the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He confided in her his foot fetish and would often text and/or call to ask questions about her feet,\" the complaint says. \"Defendant Rood knew [Abuslin] was a sex worker and took advantage of his status as a police officer by coercing her into having sexual encounters in exchange for providing her protection from arrest and prosecution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Jerrod Tong met Abuslin through \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/07/14/__trashed-20/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social media\u003c/a>, according to the lawsuit, which is a way Abuslin met many law enforcement officers, according to her testimony at a recent preliminary hearing in a criminal case. Tong allegedly visited Abuslin while he was on duty, and then continued to meet her near her home for sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Tong supported and promoted [Abuslin's] prostitution activities,\" the lawsuit says. \"For example, he would ask her to send him pictures and suggest outfits and poses for her prostitution ads.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said Friday that the scale of the case goes well beyond Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were a number of officers in Oakland, a number of officers in Richmond, some officers in Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department, some officers in Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, Livermore, as well as at least two in San Francisco,\" Burris said. \"And it was as if this young woman was being passed around as if she was a sex slave that was available at these men’s beck and calls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said the lawsuit against Richmond won't likely be the last in the wide-ranging case. Legal claims against Contra Costa and Alameda counties as well as San Francisco and Livermore have yet to be settled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly some of them are going to be sued, but I don’t know how many of them,\" Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read the complaint below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The probe, however, did find multiple violations of department policy that could lead to firings and other discipline for an unspecified number of officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Richmond teen at the center of the broad scandal has said she had sexual contact with officers from several Bay Area law enforcement agencies.

Those pending charges include felony oral copulation with a minor against an Oakland police officer and a former Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Malley said Friday that her office’s investigation had turned up potential crimes in San Francisco, San Joaquin and Contra Costa counties, but she has no authority to prosecute outside her own jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Richmond Police Department’s investigation focused only on Richmond officers and employees, and it uncovered no criminal wrongdoing, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each case is unique. We found no conspiracies,” Police Chief Brown wrote. “The facts show individual, unconnected, non-criminal engagements and other activities that violate multiple Department policies and the professional Code of Ethics on the part of several RPD officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Richmond Police Department’s findings will make up recommendations for discipline, according to the mayor’s office, which will also include input from the city’s Department of Human Resources. Richmond’s city manager will make the final call on officer discipline, a representative of the mayor’s office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of advocacy groups have criticized Richmond’s response and Guap’s relocation to Florida, where she was recently arrested during an altercation at an addiction treatment facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was charged Monday with misdemeanor battery, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/09/12/celeste-guap-florida-prosecutor-drops-assault-charge-from-felony-to-misdemeanor/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Times\u003c/a>. O’Malley said last week that her office’s prosecutions were held up because of Guap’s unavailability, who she calls “Ms. A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were not consulted,” she said of the woman’s departure to Florida. “We were not informed. And we protested once we learned she had been moved. We are now working to get Ms. A back here. And if the agency that sent her to Florida does not pay for her to come back, we will pay her airfare to come back to the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Characterizations that Richmond police “‘sent’ this teenage witness away or had her ‘removed’ to Florida distort reality,” Brown wrote, noting that Richmond “did not pay for rehab or any related expense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guap’s transfer to Florida followed her discussions with Richmond investigators about prior victimization unrelated to law enforcement sexual misconduct, according to the report. The Richmond Police Department’s Domestic and Sexual Violence Unit supported her application to the California Victim Compensation Program for help with money for treatment, “and it was ultimately funded,” Brown wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond police investigators reviewed 10,000 text messages and cellphone records and 5,000 social media pages, according to the report. Their investigation included five recorded voluntary interviews with “the teenage witness” that spanned a total 13 hours. Investigators also contacted some 45 others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include a detailed account of how many Richmond officers can expect discipline, and for what misconduct. The reason, according to Brown, is due to strict state law protections of police personnel information:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All government employees have Fourth Amendment privacy protections granted by the US Constitution over their jobs — and in California, police officers have a more detailed set of protections spelled out under The Public Safety Officers’ Procedural Bill of Rights Act.

But state law prohibits the sharing of personnel investigations between agencies, “so we had no named or accused employees to focus on at that time,” Brown wrote, citing a \u003ca href=\"http://kron4.com/2016/05/23/kron4-investigation-oakland-police-sex-scandal-expands/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KRON4 story\u003c/a> from May 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown noted that the names of five Richmond officers allegedly involved in the scandal were published by the East Bay Times in a June 30 \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/06/30/opd-sex-scandal-sheriffs-deputy-resigns-richmond-officers-named/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In interviews with this newspaper, Guap identified high-ranking Richmond police officers she had sex or sexual contact with after she turned 18 in August: Lt.
