Cop who ‘sodomized black man with screwdriver’ still on force

By Around the Web

(London Independent) A US police officer who was found to have sexually assaulted a man with a screwdriver while another officer watched is still in his job.

A civil court jury decided Chicago police officer Scott Korhonen had committed the assault, while his partner Gerald Lodwich looked on, with the victim, 20-year-old Coprez Coffie, receiving $4m (about £3.2m) in compensation as a result.

But journalist and Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King revealed both officers had not been arrested on criminal charges or even sanctioned following an internal police investigation. As a result, neither served time in jail, and both have been allowed to keep working for the force.
