Reporter yeah, veronica. If convicted, some of these Police Officers would have to register as sex offenders. Nonetheless, not everyone is satisfied. More Police Officers should face criminal charges, some say. District attorney Nancy Omalley says investigators went over tens of thousands of social media postings Text Messages and pictures between the victim who goes by celeste guap and dozens of Bay Area Police officers. In the end, she said theres evidence to charge only seven officers and not all will sex crimes and no statutory rape. We just could not establish that. In fact, the evidence tends to negate that. Reporter one oakland officer and one Contra Costa County sheriffs deputy face a felony charge of oral copulation with a minor. If convicted, they would have to register as sex offenders. The others face charges from soliciting sex from a prostitute to obstruction of justice by tipping off a prostitution sting. There are 775 Police Officers in oakland. And this is a handful of people who have brought shame on that department. Reporter a few of the officers have since resigned. Dan black resigned yesterday from livermore pd and one person Sergeant Leroy johnson retired last year. Johnson is accused of failing to report of the sexual misconduct. And out of the seven, four are newer opd officers who graduated from recent academies. Omalley says investigators found evidence of online flirting and sexting between celeste and a lot of bay area officers. She even had sex with some of them in Contra Costa County and San Francisco. But authorities in those jurisdictions have so far declined to file charges. That part is disturbing which then means to me officers in different county have done the same thing the oakland officers have done going scot free. Reporter omalley says the officer whose suicide sparked this whole investigation never met celeste. That contradicts what celeste guap told me in june. The first time we met, i was being chased down international boulevard by a pimp and, unfortunately, Brendan Brendan saved me. Reporter they are upset for her going to florida to a rehab facility. Now celeste is locked up in a florida jail after police say she attacked a security guard. And that can complicate the prosecution of the officers. We dont have a witness, we cant prosecute the case. And she is obviously the key witness in the case. Reporter right now, those Police Officers are not in custody. The d. A. Are file charges once celeste guap is back in the bay area. She is working with florida prosecutors to check the future of celeste guap. The d. A. Says her office is willing to pay for the flight to get her back not bay. Da lin, kpix 5. Our legal analyst former judge Ladoris Cordell says it is highly unusual for Police Officers to be charged and even more rare for them to be convicted. Even though officers are charged with crimes, most of the time they are either acquitted or theres a hung jury and thats because jurors tend to believe officers over the accuser. So thats going to be a very interesting issue to find out, um, whether or not these officers are actually going to be convicted. She also says that because of heavy publicity, attorneys for both sides will face a challenge selecting fair and impartial jurors. And the judge could even opt for a change of venue.
