Philadelphia inspector facing sex assault charges

[Helena]

A Philadelphia police inspector is facing charges he sexually assaulted three female officers, the latest development in a department plagued by sexual misconduct allegations that fueled the police commissioner's recent resignation.

A grand jury probe determined that Inspector Carl Holmes, 54, abused his power after mentoring female officers at the police academy and in other roles, District Attorney Larry Krasner's office announced.

The charges come two years after the city settled a female detective's sexual harassment lawsuit involving Holmes for $1.25 million.

"According to the presentment, Holmes' position as a high-ranking officer at PPD insulated him from any meaningful investigation; all three of the young female police officers were subjected to investigations by the Internal Affairs Division," the office said in a statement. "The grand jury alleges that PPD culture discourages reporting a fellow officer, especially a boss." More at link - https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/...sault-66503352

One thing I "KNOW" and thats never trust any sexual harrassment assault claims nor their denials until a full investigation has been concluded. The reason ? both sides lie more often than not

Im not saying he didnt do it or it didnt happen, Im saying that I will wait till they say hes guillty and not alleged. Anyone can be alleged to do anything
