When an officer overseeing the human trafficking unit at a Texas police department interviewed female deputies about participating in undercover operations, he asked them the same question: Do you have what it takes?
What it took, the women now claim, was attending fake bachelor parties where they were asked to act as prostitutes, wear revealing clothes and drink excessive alcohol in the company of drunk male supervisors.
The lawsuit alleges that in another undercover operation at a massage parlor, one of the female deputies was told that to make an arrest she needed to be sexually assaulted by a suspect. The deputy did not get any support from the constable’s office after her assault, according to the lawsuit.
Cordt Akers, one of the attorneys for the women, called the allegations “some of the most unspeakable sexual police misconduct that any of us have ever seen.”
The lawsuit alleges Rosen and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office were told about what was happening by a victims’ advocate working with the human trafficking unit, but they took no action.
