LAPD officer placed on leave after bodycam footage showed him allegedly fondling dead woman's breasts

A veteran Los Angeles police officer assigned to the downtown Central Division is under investigation after his body-worn camera captured him allegedly fondling a dead woman’s breasts.

The officer was put on leave once supervisors reviewed the footage during a random inspection.

The incident occurred when the officer and his partner responded to a call in a residential unit. Once the two officers determined the woman was dead, one officer returned to the patrol car to retrieve something. During that time, the accused officer turned off his body-worn camera and allegedly fondled the woman’s breasts.

Although the officer deactivated the camera, a two-minute buffer on the device captured the incident. The department is also investigating the officer’s work history.
