Cop charged with raping women under threat of arrest

OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma City police officer was charged Friday with 16 counts including rape and sexual battery after he was accused of assaulting at least seven women while on patrol.

Daniel Holtzclaw, 27, also faces charges of forcible oral sodomy and indecent exposure. Police arrested Holtzclaw on Aug. 21.

Holtzclaw, a former standout football player in high school and college, is accused of stopping women, who were all black and between the ages of 34 and 58, while on duty in Oklahoma City. Investigators allege that he raped one woman and either fondled others or forced them to expose themselves, and police said there may be more victims.

Holtclaw’s defense attorney, R. Scott Adams, has said his client was shocked and devastated by the allegations and denies them. He did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday. More
